Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups Green enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 ounces Diced green chiles
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the green enchilada sauce, sour cream, diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place 4 corn tortillas in the dish, slightly overlapping them to cover the bottom completely.
Spread one-third of the shredded chicken over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the sauce mixture, and 1/3 of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Repeat with two more layers of tortillas, chicken, sauce, and cheese, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top layer.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Cut into portions and serve warm with your favorite sides like rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
