How to Make Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Easier than traditional chicken or ground beef enchiladas, this casserole requires no rolling, tortillas are cut into quarters and layered with the rest of the ingredients! Traditionally enchiladas use corn tortillas however you can make this chicken enchilada with flour tortillas too. For the Chicken: I start with shredded cooked chicken. This is great for leftover Oven Baked Chicken Breasts but you can also make Poached Chicken or Crockpot Shredded Chicken. Swap out the shredded chicken for ground chicken or turkey (or even ground beef to make a Beef Enchilada Casserole).
To Make this Easy Casserole:
These creamy chicken enchiladas have chicken and peppers layered with enchilada sauce and tortillas. Top with your favorite taco toppings!
