Chicken Enchilada Bake

DSCF1723

My husband requests this often. It is that good. A quick, easy take on chicken enchiladas baked in the oven in layers.  This is my take on it, I’ve seen other recipes use refried beans but I love using whole black beans and frozen corn, which bakes in the oven and goes so well with the dish. You can make it vegetarian by omitting the chicken if desired.  My mouth is watering just typing about this recipe. Let’s get started.

1.Get your ingredients ready

DSCF1648

2. Place sauce to bottom of pan, then place two tortilla pieces on top,

DSCF1673

3. Layer tortilla pieces to the sides

DSCF1678

4. And then the other side to form one solid layer of tortilla.

DSCF1679

5.  Layer with 1/2 half cup of frozen corn and 1 cup of black beans (1/2 can)DSCF1681

6. Layer with chicken, cheese and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce

DSCF1685

7. REPEAT to make another entire layer of tortilla, corn/beans, chicken/cheese and sauce.

8. Final layer is tortillas, enchilada sauce and then cheese

DSCF1695

9. Cover with foil, made to a point to prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil

DSCF1697

10. Bake for 30 minutes while covered with foil, remove foil and then bake for 5 more minutes. I always put the baking dish on a cookie sheet to catch anything as it bakes.

  • 2 cups Mexican cheese
  • 6 Tortillas (small or large) – each cut in half
  • Optional to use for garnish: Cilantro, sour cream, avocado, salsa

  2. Using a square 9X9 pan, first place several spoonfuls of enchilada sauces to the bottom (6-8spoonfuls).
  3. Arrange tortillas (4 of the ½ pieces) overlapping to form a layer.
  4. Place ½ can of black beans (about 1 cup) and ½ cup frozen corn on top of tortillas.
  5. Arrange ½ of cooked shredded chicken and 1/2 cup cheese, followed by 1/3 cup enchilada sauce.
  6. Repeat layer 3,4, and 5  (So you have an additional tortilla layer, corn/bean, chicken/cheese and sauce layer).
  7. Last layer will be the last of the tortillas, rest of the enchilada sauce, and 1 cup of cheese.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes with foil made to a peak on a baking sheet.
  9. Remove foil and back for an additional 5-10 minutes.
