Layered Chicken Enchiladas

My family loves chicken enchiladas. My daughter especially. That is usually what she requests for her birthday dinner.

Sometimes, I can get super frustrated when making chicken enchiladas with corn tortillas. Sometimes, I don’t want to take the extra step to warm the tortillas properly and they tear as I roll up the enchiladas. Other times, I take the time to warm the tortillas, but they still end up tearing once I place them in the baking dish.

There is no warming or rolling corn tortillas needed with these layered chicken enchiladas. Instead, they get layered, like noodles in a lasagna. I love this because no warming or rolling is needed to make this. It comes together quickly and tastes amazing. This is a new favorite for chicken enchiladas at my house.
