Steps:
- Combine salsa, milk, chilies, soup, cheese and chicken in saucepan.
- Heat until cheese is melted. Fill a 9x13 casserole with tortilla chips.
- Pour sauce over chips and bake in 350 degree oven until bubbly, about 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Diced onions, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro can be done ahead of time to save time during assembly.
- Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives and preservatives. Shredding your own cheese ensures a fresher, more flavorful dish.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of Monterey Jack, cheddar, and queso Oaxaca will give your enchilada bake a rich, complex flavor.
- Don't overfill your enchiladas: Overfilled enchiladas are more likely to break apart when rolled.
- Be careful not to overcook the enchiladas: Overcooked enchiladas will be dry and tough.
- Top with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo are all great options.
