Use your favorite enchilada sauce to prepare this recipe, which layers corn tortillas, chicken and three kinds of cheese into one hearty casserole.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 3/4 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 9 corn tortillas, each about 6 inches in diameter
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded yellow cheddar cheese
  • Sliced green onion tops for garnish
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions:

Preheat an oven to 350°F.

In a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Add the chicken to the onion and stir well to combine.

Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 3 1/2-quart round wide Dutch oven. Arrange 3 tortillas in a single layer on the sauce, overlapping them as needed to cover the sauce. Top with a generous 1 cup of the chicken-onion mixture, 1/2 cup of the sauce and 1/4 cup of each cheese. Repeat the layering 2 more times, alternating the direction of the tortilla layers and finishing with 1/2 cup sauce and 1/4 cup of each cheese.

Transfer to the oven and bake until the ingredients are heated through and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with green onions and cilantro. Serves 4 to 6.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Similar to recipe from decades ago. Try it! Found this online because I'm not feeling like searching for my paper copy from years ago. Basically Mexican Lasagna. Layer what you like and have on hand. Can put cooked rice, cooked meat, beans (canned or cooked, whole or smooched). Whatever size dish you want. Great meal.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for Super Bowl Made this for the Super Bowl and everyone loved it. Assembled in the early am, and put in the oven for halftime. Doubled recipe and made 4 layers (add 15-25 min cooking time). Served with a bit of sour cream on top. Not many leftovers, but they freeze well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and great This recipe makes making enchiladas as easy as can be. I oven roasted 4 chicken thighs at 375F for 45 minutes instead of purchasing rotisserie chicken. I made the recipe for the first time as written. When i made it the second time around, I doubled the sauce and used only half the cheese because I like enchiladas with a lot of sauce and not a ton of cheese. I used Hatch brand green chile enchilada sauce but may make my own sauce next time with fresh tomatillos. The dish goes great topped with thin rings of raw white/yellow onion and cilantro which adds a kick and an extra dimension to the dish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and delicious! This recipe was delicious! I used a store bought rotisserie chicken to expedite the work. I wouldn't make it any other way! This is a simple recipe to throw together on a weeknight, and it tastes wonderful!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Family Meal I have made this a few times for my family and they love it (two teenagers, a 10 year old and husband). I have used canned sauce-mild because my 10 year old doesn't like too spicy. I poach chicken breasts and then shred. I make this in a rectangular casserole dish because I found it hard to serve from a dutch oven. I just cut tortillas in half to fit pan. Couldn't be easier. Serve with hot sauces, sour cream, guacamole and more cheese. Also, serve with canned refried beans or spanish rice and a tossed salad. Easy dinner and everyone is happy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fast, Simple, Tasty This is a flexible recipe that can easily be added to or manipulated. The canned sauce is what makes it simple and fast, which many of us with busy schedules need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious and Easy!! My husband and I both love this delicious recipe, we make it with guacamole and cuban style black beans for a complete weeknight meal. We did change the recipe a smudge for more flavor. We boil the chicken breast and shred, then we sauté the chicken in a large nonstick skillet with Goya. Absolutely wonderful!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No sauce recipe included????? Wow, this is a bummer. Just some cheeses & a little something else. Don't you folks know "sauce" is what makes the dish? Not much thought put into this recipe if you ask me. Oh well. maybe you will get it right on the next recipe posted.
