Chicken Enchiladas

Homesteading Dreams
Delicious layered chicken enchiladas with a red enchilada sauce.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package of fresh corn tortillas the ones I use come 14 to a package
  • 1 batch of Enchilada sauce or Chili Verde Sauce
  • Cooked chicken – you can cook a whole chicken easy crockpot chicken or you can sauté some boneless chicken breast or thighs. Any method that’s easy for you will work. My preferred method it to make easy crockpot chicken the day before and put it in the fridge to it’s ready to go for this recipe. You could also buy a whole roaster, already cooked from the grocery store deli to save time.
  • 1 lb. Shredded cheese – I like to use Monterey jack but cheddar works well too

Instructions
 

  • Layer in a 9x13 baking dish. Start with a layer of enchilada sauce, then tortillas, chicken, and finally cheese.
  • Keep layering in this order until you’ve used up all the tortillas and chicken.
  • Add a little sauce and cheese to the top.
  • Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • It will be nice and bubbly when it’s done. Be sure to let it set for 5-10 minutes so that it cools down a bit and sets up before serving.
