Ingredients:

  • 6-inch corn tortillas – 4
  • Monterey Jack cheese, shredded – 8 oz
  • Chicken, cooked and shredded – 2 cups
  • Green chilies, chopped – 1 can (4 oz)
  • Onion, chopped – 1
  • Enchilada sauce – 1 cup
  • Oil for frying – 1/4 cup

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). This ensures that your enchiladas bake to perfection.

  2. Prepare Tortillas: Heat oil in a small skillet until it reaches 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). While the oil is heating, soften each corn tortilla by dipping them in the hot oil for about 2-3 seconds on each side. Once softened, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  3. Layering: Now, it’s time to assemble the enchiladas! Start by placing one tortilla on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle it with 1/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, followed by 1/4 cup of shredded chicken, 1 tablespoon of chopped green chilies, and 1 tablespoon of chopped onion.

  4. Sauce and Repeat: Top the first layer with another tortilla, then pour about 1/3 cup of enchilada sauce over the stack. Sprinkle with another 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients to create three more enchilada stacks.

  5. Bake: Once all the layers are assembled, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the enchiladas at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Serve: Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. You can garnish them with additional chopped onions, cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

  7. Enjoy: Now, it’s time to dig in and enjoy these delicious Layered Chicken Enchiladas with your loved ones! Serve them alongside your favorite Mexican-inspired sides, such as rice, beans, or a fresh salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
