Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 2 10 oz. cans green enchilada sauce
  • 1 4 oz. can diced green chilies
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the casserole

  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 16-18 small tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • Taco toppings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. Spread a think layer of sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Layer 5-6 tortillas over the sauce, tearing to fit as needed. Top with half of the chicken, one cup of the sauce and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat once.
  • Finish with a final layer of tortillas, then the remaining sauce and cheese.
