4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

Equipment

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 8x11" baking dish.
Pour 1/4 of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Rip up 3 tortillas and cover the enchilada sauce layer. Top with half the chicken, 2/3 cup of cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, and another fourth of the enchilada sauce. Repeat.
Top the last layer of tortillas with the last of the enchilada sauce and the last 2/3 cup of cheese.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

I like it best served with a little extra sour cream, tomatoes, and cilantro.
