  • Once meat is cooked through, grab out individual baking dishes to create the casseroles with. If you don't have individual baking dishes, you can use a bread pan to create the casserole.

GREEN CHILE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Green Chile Enchilada Casserole image

My husband and I were feeling nostalgic for green chile (we used to live in NM), so we dug into the precious Hatch supply and this is what I came up with. If you can't get ahold of Hatch, try for the most flavorful green enchilada sauce you can find. If you can get Hatch--send some to me LOL! The steps look involved but really this takes no time at all.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) can green enchilada sauce (preferably Hatch)
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 1/4 cups cooked chicken breasts, shredded
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup frozen corn
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fat free sour cream (to taste)
1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
