Green Chile Enchilada Casserole

Recipe #225334 | 35 min | 10 min prep | add private note

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.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350.
  2. 2
    In a non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray saute onions, garlic, bell pepper, and corn until tender.
  3. 3
    Remove from heat.
  4. 4
    Stir in chicken, salt, and pepper, then add 1/2 c of enchilada sauce. Mix well.
  5. 5
    Spread 1/4 c enchilada sauce on the bottom of an 11x7 inch pan.
  6. 6
    Spread 4 tortillas with sour cream, then place in pan. Pour half the chicken mixture on top.
  7. 7
    Add 1/4 cheese and top with two tortillas.
  8. 8
    Pour 1/4 c enchilada sauce over tortillas, then cover with remaining chicken mixture and 1/4 c cheese.
  9. 9
    Spread 1 T of sour cream on two tortillas, then place them CREAM SIDE DOWN on top of casserole. You will want to layer them crossways from the two tortillas below (trust me, this works).
  10. 10
    Spread 1/4 c enchilada sauce on top of tortillas, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 c cheese.
  11. 11
    Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

I appreciated an enchilada recipe with some veggies. Nice simple blend of enchilada flavors without the work of rolling all those little enchiladas! I added mushrooms while sauteeing the onions, and added a can of Hatch diced chiles. I omitted the sour cream. I will be making this again as a OAMC recipe. After thawing the frozen casserole overnight, I baked it at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

    Fun twist on Tex-Mex! I used flour tortillas instead of corn, since that's what I had on hand. Thanks for sharing!

    This was a great casserole! I used 6 whole wheat tortillas, and probably 1/2 cup of the nonfat sour cream to coat them well. I also only used about half of the cheese and a pinch of the salt to make it healthier. Topping it with more sour cream really enhanced the yummy New Mexican flavor of this dish. Served 2-3 for big eaters.

    This was a quick, delicious dinner. How can you go wrong with green chile sauce? I used seven-inch whole wheat tortillas and it took quite a bit more sour cream to coat them entirely. Thanks for a great recipe!
