"Shredded chicken is layered with charred tortillas, sour cream, cheese, and enchilada sauce." Very easy to make and very cost effective. FYI I used mild enchilada sauce and it was really spicy, so if you are a spice whimp don't get medium or hot sauce. It was so good even though my nose was running I couldn' t stop eating it. YUM!
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves
garlic salt to taste
18 (6 inch) corn tortillas, torn in half
1 (28 ounce) can green chile enchilada
sauce
1 (16 ounce) package shredded
Monterey Jack cheese
1 (8 ounce) container reduced fat sour
cream
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2. Season chicken with garlic salt. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Cool, shred, and set aside.
3. With metal tongs, char each tortilla half over the open flame of a gas stove burner for about 1 minute, until lightly puffed.
4. Pour about 1/2 inch enchilada sauce in the bottom of a medium baking dish, and arrange 6 tortillas in a single layer. Top with 1/2 the chicken, 1/3 cheese, 1/2 the sour cream, and 1/3 of the remaining enchilada sauce. Repeat. Coat remaining tortillas thoroughly with remaining enchilada sauce, and arrange on top of the layers. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and top with any remaining enchilada sauce
5. Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly before serving.
