Ingredients

  • 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
  • 1 packet Ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 12 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 1 4-ounce can Diced green chiles
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
  • 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, ranch dressing mix, diced green chiles, and 1 cup of the enchilada sauce. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the sour cream. This will be used as the sauce layers in the casserole.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of the sour cream enchilada sauce mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Cut the corn tortillas into halves to make layering easier. Place a single layer of tortillas over the sauce in the dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.

Step 6

Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses combined.

Step 7

Drizzle a portion of the sour cream enchilada sauce mixture over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Repeat the layers (tortillas, chicken, cheese, sour cream sauce) one more time.

Step 9

For the final layer, place tortillas on top, pour the remaining sour cream enchilada sauce mixture, and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top.

Step 10

Cover the casserole loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your Enchilada Ranch Casserole!
