My entire family loves it and requests it. This is a Chicken Enchilada Casserole, and it's sososososo delicious. It's like taking all the goodness of an enchilada, but making it easier by stacking it up, and making it all even more cozy, if that is possible, baking it under a layer of cheese. Cook chicken with cheese, chiles, tomatoes and canned soups, then layer with tortillas for an easy take on Mexican enchiladas. Reviews for: Photos of Chicken Enchilada Casserole I.
