### Ingredients You’ll Love
Most of the ingredients for this casserole are pantry staples or easy to grab from your local store:
* Shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)
* Corn or flour tortillas
* Red or green enchilada sauce
* Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
* Onions, garlic, and optional extras like black beans or corn
* Fresh toppings like cilantro, avocado, sour cream, or green onions
### Quick and Easy Assembly
Layer it like this:
1. Sauce on the bottom
2. Tortillas
3. Chicken and filling
4. Cheese
5. Repeat and finish with a generous topping of cheese
Pop it in the oven, bake until bubbly and golden, then let it rest a few minutes before serving. That short rest helps the layers hold together and intensifies the flavor.
### Make It Yours
Want to make it even more comforting? Add a layer of refried beans or a scoop of sour cream between the layers. Want extra protein? Toss in black beans or quinoa. Gluten-free? Use certified GF corn tortillas. The beauty of this dish is how adaptable it is.
### Perfect for Leftovers (If You Have Any)
Chicken enchilada casserole reheats beautifully and even tastes better the next day as the flavors deepen. It also freezes well—just assemble, wrap, and bake later when you need a quick meal.
