Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice, chicken, beans, tomatoes, green chile and spices. Pour 1 cup of the green chile into the bottom of a deep 9x13 dish (or 2 smaller dishes). Layer the tortilla wedges across it and then spread 1/3 of the chicken and rice mixture on top of the tortillas. Sprinkle generously with cheese. Layer more tortillas across the top and pour 1 cup of red or green sauce across the tortillas.
Repeat the layering two more times and then top the final layer generously with the last of the green chile sauce and more cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve with sour cream and tortilla chips. Enjoy!
FREEZER MEAL: Layer everything into the pan and when it has cooled completely, cover with foil or lids and freeze. 1-2 days before you plan to eat this, take it out of the freezer and place it in the fridge. Once thawed, bake as noted above.
