This delicious Mexican food dish is a favorite among families and will be a hit if you are having guests for dinner.
Gather Your Ingredients:
Make the Enchilada Cream Mixture:
In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, 1 cup of the shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, green chile, cream of chicken soup, egg, and chicken breast. Stir them together until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Layer With Tortillas:
In a large casserole dish or deep baking pan, place a layer of corn tortillas on the bottom of the pan. It is okay to overlap them, or even use half of a tortilla if the rounds don't fit perfectly. Then place a few large spoonfuls of the cream mixture on top of the corn tortilla layer. Spread the mixture, so it is 1/4 of an inch to 1/2 of an inch thick across the entire dish. Then place another layer of corn tortillas on top of the mixture. Add another layer of the cream mixture.
Repeat this process until you use the last of the enchilada cream mixture. The top layer of the cream mixture can be a bit thinner than the inside layers.
Sprinkle with Cheese & Bake:
Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese on the top of the enchilada casserole. Then place the casserole in the preheated oven and cook for 50 to 60 minutes. You will know the casserole is done when it bubbles up on the edges and the middle is done, as well. You might like to brown the cheese on top by setting the oven on broil for a few minutes just before taking it out of the oven. Do be careful not to leave it in too long on broil, or the cheese will burn and blacken.
Cool Down and Serve:
The enchilada casserole will need to cool down for a few minutes before serving, or it will be a bit runny. Serve with corn, garnish (lettuce and tomato), chips and guacamole, Spanish rice, and buttered flour tortillas.
