Ingredients

• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 can (4 oz) Diced green chilies
• 0.5 cup Chopped white onion
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 20 seconds per side until pliable. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the refried beans with the diced green chilies, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Begin assembling the Enchilasana layers: Place 4 tortillas on the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping to cover the surface.

Step 6

Spread half the refried bean mixture onto the tortillas. Top with 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the chopped onion, 1/3 of the enchilada sauce, and 1/3 of the shredded cheese.

Step 7

Repeat for the second layer: 4 tortillas, the remaining half of the refried bean mixture, 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the onions, 1/3 of the enchilada sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese.

Step 8

Add the final layer: 4 tortillas, the rest of the shredded chicken, onions, enchilada sauce, and shredded cheese.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let the Enchilasana rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
