1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender.

3

Add the chicken pieces and cook for approximately 10 minutes until they are no longer pink in the middle. Make sure to stir occasionally.

4

Stir in the taco seasoning, cooked rice, black beans (drained), corn (drained), and sour cream. Mix everything together well and let it heat through for another 5 minutes.

5

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle 2 cups of cheddar cheese evenly on top.

6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

7

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.

Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
