Direcctions

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened. Add the oregano, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and oregano and stir to combine. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add the green chilies and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked chicken, beans, corn, rice and salsa. Stir everything until well-combined.

Turn the oven to broil. Top the mixture with the shredded cheese and place the oven-safe skillet (see Note) in the oven and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly on top. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Note: If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, place everything except for the cheese in a baking dish, top with shredded cheese and place in oven.
