Enchilada Casserole

This Tex Mex favourite is just another way to serve enchiladas at home. What we love about this Enchilada Casserole is that it’s perfect for feeding big groups of people as well as making everyone happy. You may ask what the difference is between this enchilada casserole recipe and normal enchiladas. In terms of flavour, not much, it’s just the way they’re prepared by stacking layers of tortillas, filling and cheese. It’s very similar to the way that you would make a lasagna. We find that you’re able to pack more of the filling and cheese in between layers of soft tacos, compared to lasagna sheets, and then you’re able to feed more people with the same size baking dish which is a plus. This enchilada recipe is enough to feed 6 well-served portions, or 8 if you’re serving with other dishes in mind. For a small family, prepare half of the recipe in a smaller baking dish. Tips and Tricks: To make this recipe in no time we recommend cooking the chicken in advance, or to use leftover rotisserie chicken. When cooking from scratch, place two raw chicken breasts in a saucepan and cover them with water. Then add a piece of onion, garlic clove, a bay leaf, and a bit of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer on a lower temperature for 20 minutes (approx). When ready, remove the chicken from the liquid and let it cool down and then shred the meat. This chicken enchilada casserole can be prepared ahead, ready to be popped into the oven when you’re ready to serve. For an equally delicious green sauce version, try this same recipe with Gran Luchito Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce instead.
