Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked boneless chicken breast or chicken thighs
  • 3 ΒΌ cups enchilada sauce
  • 4-6 flour tortillas
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Use 1 lb rotisserie chicken or cook and shred the chicken.
    You can do this by boiling a pot of water and cooking the chicken breasts in the water for about 30 minutes until cooked through. Then shred the chicken with 2 forks. You can do this ahead of time. Make extra and freeze for another time you need chicken!
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a few spoonfuls of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a glass square 9 x 9 baking dish. Place 2 tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping to cover the surface. Layer the  chicken, beans,cheese, sauce, and tortillas; repeat once to make a total of 2 layers. You may have to tear the tortilla layers to fit.
    Cover the top with the remaining enchilada sauce and 1 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes. 
    Allow to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving . Top with sliced green onions,  chopped tomato, avocados ect .
