1.5 lbs pastured chicken breast (cooked and shredded - omit for vegetarian)
6 Siete Foods cassava tortillas
1.5 cups Siete Foods or Simply Organic red enchilada sauce
1 can organic black beans drained
3/4 can black olives sliced
1 bunch (~1/2 cup) chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 bunch (~1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley
1 jalapeño finely diced (seeds and ribs removed)
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 cups organic Jack cheese
Seasoning:
2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp dried cilantro
With Chicken: Season chicken on both sides. Add olive oil to hot Instant Pot. Lightly brown chicken on both sides - 6-7 minutes each side. Add 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and 1 cup chicken stock/broth. Change setting to pressure cook and cook for 20 min on high in the Instant Pot. Release steam and shred chicken in the juices. Omit this step for vegetarian.
Cauliflower: To cook, sauté riced cauliflower about 10 mins or microwave 5 mins in a covered glass bowl.
Cauliflower Mixture:
Mix black beans and chopped fresh herbs, jalapeño and 1 cup enchilada sauce with cauliflower. If vegetarian, add seasoning directly to cauliflower mixture.
Use the reVessel 8.8 cup vessel to assemble this casserole.
Recipe Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fold tortillas in half to break evenly and using four halves at a time, line the bottom of the dish. Coat the tortillas with a layer of enchilada sauce. Spread approximately 1.5-2 cups of cauliflower mixture edge to edge (about 1/2 inch thick). Sprinkle 3/4-1 cup of cheese and sliced black olives and repeat with four more tortillas, enchilada sauce, cauliflower and cheese (repeat one more time if room/ingredients). To finish, add one more layer of tortilla, enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees (F) with reVessel silicone lid resting on top. Remove silicone lid and bake 5 additional minutes.
To serve, top with avocado, cilantro and green onion and enjoy!
