So I've been trying to do more savory dishes lately. Figured I cant just live off of desserts for the rest of my life. I was feeling Mexican the other day and since the closest Chipotle is still way too far away, I thought I would try my hand at it. Corn tortillas, veggies, chicken, enchilada sauce, cheese...what more could you ask for?
Normally the tortillas are rolled up with filling but I thought it would be much easier to layer everything. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Chicken Enchilada Lasagna (makes 8x8pan)
Ingredients
- 2 grilled chicken breasts, shredded (great way to use leftovers!)
- can of black beans, rinsed and drained
- sauteed veggies (I used onions, bell peppers, and 2 jalapenos)
- small can of enchilada sauce
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 2 cups of shredded cheese (I just colby jack sandwich slices)
Directions
- Assemble all ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 350degrees.
- Line an 8x8 pan with aluminum foil and grease it.
- Spread a quarter of the enchilada sauce at the bottom of the pan.
- Place 4 tortillas at the bottom.
- Layer half of the veggies, beans, and chicken.
- Pour another quarter of the sauce on top.
- Top with 1/3 of the cheese.
- Repeat steps 4-7 again.
- Top with the last 4 tortillas and the rest of the sauce and cheese.
- Over with aluminum foil and bake in oven for 20min.
- Take off the foil and bake for another 10min
- Let the enchiladas cool a bit before eating!
My roommate doesnt like beans so I made a special corner for her haha.
Layering was definitely the way to go. Less fuss. Just layer and repeat!
Best with a beer and an episode of How to Get Away with Murder.
