Ingredients
  

For the Casserole

  • 1.5-2 pounds skinless chicken breast
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce Frontier brand is great!
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 10 ounces Rotel mild diced tomatoes with green chilies

Spices

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for spice

For Tortillas

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Start by boiling your chicken. Once cooked, shred it and set aside.
  • In a frying pan, combine the shredded chicken with diced onion and a can of Rotel (including the liquid).
  • Season it with salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and mix in the enchilada sauce. Be sure to set aside 1/2 cup of sauce to top the tortillas later.

Assembly & Baking

  • Layer your casserole: Start with the chicken mixture, followed by cheese, and then 4 tortillas. Repeat to form a second layer, ending with tortillas.
  • Top with the reserved enchilada sauce to keep the tortillas moist, and sprinkle cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of avocado. Pair with a fresh garden salad or cauliflower rice for a refreshing touch. Can be prepared a day in advance. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for longer storage!
