The title said it all and it really is the EASIEST. If you love enchiladas but don’t have time roll and prep than this is the perfect recipe for you!
I was in a hurry for dinner last week but really wanted to stick to my menu plans of making enchiladas… so It dawned on me to make a shortcut. I’m glad I did it too because my husband scarfed it down and went back for seconds!
Our 1st cheat is to buy a whole roasted chicken that is already cooked from the grocery store. Peel back the skin and chop the breast meat. You can save the rest for another purpose or use it all if you want a super meaty meal. Now that part is done we can do the lasagna assembly. Instead of takin time to roll each tortilla we are layering in the pan like you would a traditional lasagna.
Sauce 1st. I used a canned green or verde salsa. Red sauce is great too, just depends on what you have on hand or prefer.
Layer, slightly overlapping, white corn tortillas over the sauce.
Next goes some of the chopped chicken, shredded cheese, and a bit of sour cream.
Pour 1/3 of the sauce and begin the layers again. Bake until golden and bubbly. on top. Finish with whatever you like on your enchiladas.
I go for fresh guacamole and jalapeno slices. Serve with some cilantro lime rice and refried or black beans mixed with salsa. It is so delicious and a time saver!
