Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix green chiles with beans and corn.

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Layer 6 halves of tortillas over the sauce so that the bottom of the pan is covered.

Layer 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 of the bean and chile mix, 2/3 cup of the cheese and 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the tortillas.

Place the second layer of tortillas on top and layer 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 of the bean mix, 2/3 cup of the cheese and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce over the tortillas.

Repeat this process one more time for the third layer.

Place the remaining tortilla halves on top and spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top.

Cover with foil that's been sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.

Let sit for 10 minutes to firm up, then top with preferred garnishes and serve.
