Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Nguyên liệu

• 2-3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 2 ½ cups enchilada sauce (storebought or homemade)
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
• 6-8 small flour tortillas (corn works too)
• 1 can refried beans

Cách làm

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. 2

   Place a few spoonfuls of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a glass square baking dish (mine was 9×9) to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Place 2 tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping to cover the entire surface.

4. 4

   Layer the beans, chicken, cheese, sauce, and tortillas; repeat once to make a total of 2 layers. (For me this was about 1/3 cup refried beans, 1 cup of the chicken, ½ cup cheese, and about 3/4 cup enchilada sauce in each layer.)

5. 5

   Cover the top with the remaining enchilada sauce and 1 cup cheese. Cover the baking dish with well-oiled aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is starting to brown and sauce is bubbling.

6. 6

   Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes so it can firm up a bit before cutting and serving. Top with cilantro, lime, sour cream, or avocado.
