Layered Chicken Enchilada Casserole has the flavor of authentic enchiladas, without all the work! Make this tasty recipe in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

2 cups red enchilada sauce

6 8-inch corn tortillas

1 pound chicken breasts (cooked and shredded (or rotisserie chicken))

7 ounces Rotel ((fire roasted tomatoes w/ green chiles))

12 ounces shredded Mexican cheese blend

fresh pico de gallo, sliced scallions, sliced olives, diced avocado, diced red onion, sour cream

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Add 1 cup of enchilada sauce to the bottom of your casserole dish. Add 4 tortilla halves to the bottom of the dish and flip over to coat both sides in the sauce. Place the tortillas with the cut edge against the side of the pan so it covers the bottom of the dish.

Add about 1/3 of chicken and chiles over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese over top.

Add 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the cheese. Spread sauce evenly with a spatula.

Layer with 4 tortilla halves placed so they cover the casserole. Add another 1/3 of chicken, chiles, and cheese.

Add another 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce and spread with a spatula.

Layer with the remaining 4 tortilla halves placed so they cover the casserole. Add the remaining 1/3 of chicken, chiles, and cheese.

Cover your baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes.

Uncover your baking dish and return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. (I like to broil it for the last minute or two so it gets a beautiful bubbly and browned topping).

Garnish with preferred toppings. Serve and enjoy!
