Green Tomatillo Enchilada Bake: A Flavorful Casserole Delight

Features:
    Cuisine:

    A fast take on traditional enchiladas, this spicy casserole is easy to pull together and makes plenty for leftovers. Also, healthy ingredients can be substituted (especially if you're like me and have to make due with items in your fridge or pantry when you forget to pick-up the sour cream at the store). Can also be made ahead and reheated when desired.

    7
    Done

    '-Cut Up Your Cooked Chicken Breast and Put It Into Your Food Processor. Course a Few Times Until the Chicken Is Shredded. Should Yield Just Over a Cup. Put Into a Bowl and Put to the Side.

    8
    Done

    '-Grate the Jalapeno Jack. Pending on Your Taste, a 1/2 Cup - Cup Will Do. Put Into Another Bowl and to the Side.

    I Prefer a Round Pie Dish, Though a Rectangular Casserole Dish Can Be Substituted, as Well.

    10
    Done

    '-Spray Your Dish With a Non-Stick Spray and in the Bottom, Line With 3 Corn Tortillas and Try to Cover as Much as the Dish as Possible Though There Will Be Overlap, as Well as Uncovered Corners.

    12
    Done

    '-With a Spoon Scoop Onto the Corn Tortillas Until Covered. Add a Handful of Chicken and a Handful of Cheese Until Covered. Add a Few Sliced Jalapenos For Taste.

    13
    Done

    '-Repeat 3 More Corn Tortillas on Top of the First Layer; Sauce, Chicken and Cheese.

    14
    Done

    '-You Should Finish the Dish With 3 Tortillas on Top and Enough Sauce to Drizzle Over So They Don't Burn. I Also Like to Finish With a Sprinkling of Cheese and a Few Jalapenos For Garnish.

    15
    Done

    '-Put in Oven For 30-35 Minutes. Garnish With a Sprinkling of Fresh Cilantro and a Dollop of Sour Cream. Cut Into Pie Slices and Serve.
