Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, green enchilada sauce, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Cut the corn tortillas into halves or quarters for easier layering. Place a layer of tortillas over the chicken mixture, ensuring they slightly overlap.
- Spread another layer of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, followed by a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layering process (tortillas, chicken mixture, cheeses) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of shredded cheese on top.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor. Adjust the spice level by using mild or hot green chilies.
