Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to ensure easy removal later.

Start your flavorful creation by spreading 1/2 cup of salsa evenly across the bottom of the dish.

Next, lay down a layer of corn tortillas, tearing them as necessary to fill in any gaps.
Step 5
On top of the tortillas, generously spread 3/4 cup of refried beans, followed by a delightful layer of corn, then pour in 1 cup of salsa, and finish with 1 cup of shredded cheese for that melty goodness.
Step 6
Now, itβs time for another layer of corn tortillas.
Step 7
Spread the remaining 3/4 cup of refried beans over this layer, then add the chopped chicken, followed by another cup of salsa and another cup of cheese.
Step 8
Top it all off with one last layer of corn tortillas.
Step 9
Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of salsa over the top, ensuring every corner is covered, and sprinkle the final 1/2 cup of cheese for that irresistible finish.
Step 10
Slide your dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly, filling your kitchen with an inviting aroma.
