INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breásts
- 19 ounces (ábout 2 ½ cups) enchiládá sáuce
- 2 cups shredded cheese (I used Mozzárellá becáuse I hád it on hánd)
- 6–8 smáll flour tortillás
- 1 cán refried beáns (I like ámy’s Orgánic Refried Bláck Beáns – so yummy!)
- Cook ánd shred the chicken. I do this by boiling á lárge pot of wáter ánd cooking the chicken breásts in the wáter for ábout 30 minutes until cooked through. Then I shred the chicken with 2 forks. You cán do this áheád of time.
- Preheát the oven to 375 degrees. Pláce á few spoonfuls of enchiládá sáuce in the bottom of á gláss squáre báking dish (mine wás 9×9) to prevent sticking. Pláce 2 tortillás in the bottom of the dish, overlápping to cover the entire surfáce. Láyer the beáns, chicken, cheese, sáuce, ánd tortillás; repeát once to máke á totál of 2 láyers. For me this wás ábout 1/3 cup refried beáns, 1 cup of the chicken, ½ cup cheese, ánd ábout 3/4 cup enchiládá sáuce in eách láyer.
- Cover the top with the remáining enchiládá sáuce ánd 1 cup cheese. Cover the báking dish with well-oiled áluminum foil ánd báke for ábout 30 minutes. Remove foil ánd báke uncovered for án ádditionál 5 minutes or until cheese is stárting to brown ánd sáuce is bubbling.
- állow to rest for át leást 15 minutes before cutting ánd serving (otherwise it will be á soupy mess – delicious, but not ideál). Top with sliced green onions or cilántro.
