Classico Enchiladas Verdes

There was a recipe contest at work.  Lots of people entered wonderful recipes.  My recipe focused on something that would be quick and easy to put together but still had LOADS of flavor.  Thus, Classico Enchiladas Verdes was born.  The Classico Alfredo Sauce lends a creamy tang to the sauce.  I hope you enjoy it!

3.  In a greased 9”x13” pan, ladle ½ cup of the creamy green chile sauce and spread to distribute evenly over the bottom of the pan.  Rip 3 corn tortillas into strips and place over the sauce, trying to completely cover the pan with one layer of tortilla.  Spoon ½ of the chicken mixture over the tortillas and spread with the back of a spoon into an even layer.  Sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese.  Drizzle with another ½ cup of creamy green chile sauce.  Repeat layers.

4.   For the final layer, Rip the remaining 4 corn tortillas into strips and arrange in a singe layer.  Pour the remaining creamy green chile sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.

 

 
5.  Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is slightly crisped at the edges.
