Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1 cup green enchilada sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 12 corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, green chiles, enchilada sauce, cumin, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer half the tortilla strips, all the chicken, half the remaining sauce, and 1 cup cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, sauce, and cheese.
  3. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes.
  4. Slice into squares and serve hot, with any toppings you like.

Notes

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking so it slices cleanly. For a spicier kick, use hot green chiles and pepper jack cheese.
