Cuisine: American/Mexican
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 2 cans (10 ounces each) enchilada sauce
• 6 corn tortillas
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the chicken and enchilada sauce into a saucepan. Cover and cook gently, stirring often, until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a bowl and shred. (Keep the enchilada sauce it cooked in.)
2. Spread some of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish. Cover with 2 tortillas, 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the remaining enchilada sauce and 1/3 of the cheese. Top with 2 more tortillas and repeat layers, ending with cheese.
3. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 30 minutes.
