  • Layer the Casserole: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of tortillas (cut to fit if needed), then a layer of chicken, onions, cheese, and more sauce. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up your ingredients, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.
  • Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
  • Cool and Serve: Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or diced avocado if desired.

    • Tips for Success

    • Shortcut Tip: Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
    • Spice It Up: Add jalapeños or chipotle peppers for extra heat.
    • Make It Vegetarian: Substitute chicken with black beans and sautéed veggies.
    • Freeze It: Assemble the casserole, wrap tightly, and freeze before baking for up to 3 months.
