CREAMY CHEESY GOOEY ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
Easy and cheesy, this enchilada casserole was great. We love the idea to layer the tortillas rather than rolling them. Saves a step and makes this so simple to prepare. This is a great canvas to make the recipe your own. We opted for black olives and tomatoes in this casserole, but add ingredients your family likes. If you like...

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
- 2. Place both chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water with spices of your choice, I always add two dried chili peppers and some pepper flakes but you could do it without that easily. Boil for about an hour until the chicken is cooked through and will easily pull apart with a fork!
- 3. Get this chicken out of the pot and shred it on a cutting board. Drain the water from the pot and put the chicken back.
- 4. Mix in the 8 oz of sour cream and 1-2 cups of the shredded cheese depending on how cheesy you like it. We like it cheesy in this house!
- 5. Then pull out whatever baking dish size or shape you have that best fits. In the bottom, pour some of the enchilada sauce until it completely coats the bottom to prevent sticking.
- 6. Let the layering begin!! Lay down the tortillas to cover the bottom of the pan (I usually have 4 per layer with the pans I use). Then a thin layer of the refried beans (I've found it easier to do the bean spreading if you heat the beans up prior).
- 7. Then a layer of the cheesy/sour cream/chicken mixture.
- 8. At this point, you can add olives or tomatoes or anything else you want and then top with a layer of the enchilada sauce. Another layer of tortillas and repeat until you've just barely reached the top of the dish!
- 9. Finish with a layer of tortillas and cover that with JUST the remaining cheese and sauce. Cover with some aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Take the foil off and bake for another 5-10 until its gooey and bubbly.
- 10. Cut up and serve! We always add extra sour cream to the top at the end! Enjoy :)
