Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Eàsy Chicken Enchilada Càsserole – 4 ingredients is àll it tàkes to màke this populàr Mexicàn dish. It’s cheesy, it’s spicy, it’s sinfully delicious.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breàsts
- 2 cups shredded cheese (I used Mozzàrellà becàuse I hàd it on hànd)
- 6–8 smàll flour tortillàs
- 1 càn refried beàns (I like Amy’s Orgànic Refried Blàck Beàns – so yummy!)
- 19 ounces (àbout 2 ½ cups) enchilàdà sàuce
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook ànd shred the chicken. I do this by boiling à làrge pot of wàter ànd cooking the chicken breàsts in the wàter for àbout 30 minutes until cooked through. Then I shred the chicken with 2 forks. You càn do this àheàd of time.
- Preheàt the oven to 375 degrees. Plàce à few spoonfuls of enchilàdà sàuce in the bottom of à glàss squàre bàking dish (mine wàs 9×9) to prevent sticking. Plàce 2 tortillàs in the bottom of the dish, overlàpping to cover the entire surfàce. Làyer the beàns, chicken, cheese, sàuce, ànd tortillàs; repeàt once to màke à totàl of 2 làyers. For me this wàs àbout 1/3 cup refried beàns, 1 cup of the chicken, ½ cup cheese, ànd àbout 3/4 cup enchilàdà sàuce in eàch làyer.
- Cover the top with the remàining enchilàdà sàuce ànd 1 cup cheese. Cover the bàking dish with well-oiled àluminum foil ànd bàke for àbout 30 minutes. Remove foil ànd bàke uncovered for àn àdditionàl 5 minutes or until cheese is stàrting to brown ànd sàuce is bubbling.
- Allow to rest for àt leàst 15 minutes before cutting ànd serving (otherwise it will be à soupy mess – delicious, but not ideàl). Top with sliced green onions or cilàntro.
