Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk the cornbread mix, melted butter, milk and egg. Do not not mix; the batter will have lumps, this is normal. Pour the batter into your cast iron skillet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown.
- Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, dried oregano, paprika, fine sea salt and black pepper. Toss the chipotle peppers with the spice mixture, shredded chicken and black beans.
- Poke many holes in the cornbread base using a fork, the more holes, the more places for delicious enchilada sauce to hide!
- Pour 1 cup of the enchilada sauce over the cornbread base. Top with the chicken mixture. Finally, top with the shredded cheese.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Top with fresh cilantro and scallions, serve with fresh lime wedges, spritz and enjoy your Chicken Enchilada Pie!
