How to make chicken enchilada casserole
Before you delve into this recipe, prepare 4 ½ cups of shredded chicken and cut the tortillas into 1-2 inch squares (see picture above).
Make sure your oven is preheated to 375 degrees. Grease a 9Ă—13 inch casserole, then spread half of the chicken, tortilla cubes, cheese, sour cream, and sauce. Repeat these layers again and cover the plate with tin foil. Bake for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the tin foil and bake for another 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven, let it rest for about 15 minutes, then cut it up and serve. Put your favorite Mexican ingredients on top: coriander, pico de gallo, avocado, tomatoes, etc.
How to layer hot sauce casserole
No matter you layer this casserole, it will taste delicious, but I layered it in a certain order.
The chicken is always in front, and then a layer of sauce. Then I put sour cream on top of the two layers (using sour cream in the squeeze tube makes it a lot easier).
The last two layers are cheese and cubed tortillas. If you want, you can sprinkle a little more cheese on it. You can never eat too much cheese, right? ?
