Perfect meal to make ahead and bake when ready! The picture doesn't do it justice. One of our favorites, thank you to my sister for teaching me how to make.
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
14oz can mild enchilada sauce
14oz can refried beans
2 cups shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese (or combo)
3 green onions, chopped
handful chopped cilantro
soft flour tortillas
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the chicken and green onions and sauté until chicken is browned. Add enchilada sauce and cilantro to the chicken, heat another 5 minutes.
Lightly grease a baking dish. I use a round casserole dish, you can also use a 9X13 pan. Place a layer of tortilla in the bottom of the dish (the medium size tortillas fit perfectly in my round dish, but you may have to cut some tortillas to fit a layer.
Layer chicken mixture on top of tortillas, then spoonfuls of refried beans, then cheese. Repeat until you end with tortilla, then enchilada sauce and finally cheese on top. (3-4 layers)
Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve with white or Spanish rice. Also sour cream is a nice topping as well!
