Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with half the spice mix. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until done in the middle, about 9 minutes total. Set aside to cool, then shred.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, Monterey Jack, parsley and the rest of the spice mix.
- In a lasagna pan, pour in a little of both enchilada sauces. Add a layer of 4 noodles, spoon on half the ricotta mixture, sprinkle on half the chicken and pour on a little more of both enchilada sauces. Add another layer of 4 noodles and repeat, ending with a layer of 3 lasagna noodles, the rest of the sauce and the Cheddar on top.
- Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Tips:
- For a crispier enchiladasagna, fry the tortillas in hot oil before assembling the dish.
- To save time, use store-bought enchilada sauce and taco seasoning.
- If you like spicy food, add a diced jalapeño pepper to the filling.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with black beans or tofu.
- Serve the enchiladasagna with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
