Here’s a simple recipe for Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 can (28 oz) green enchilada sauce
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, green enchilada sauce, diced green chilies, sour cream, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour a small amount of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, just enough to coat the bottom.
- Place a layer of corn tortillas on top of the sauce, tearing them if necessary to fit and cover the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon about one-third of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle about 1/3 of the shredded cheese over the chicken mixture.
- Repeat layering with another layer of tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese. You should be able to make about three layers.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
