Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 pound ground chicken
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as RO*TEL®), halfway drained
½ (1.25 ounce) package reduced-sodium taco seasoning mix
1 (10 ounce) can mild enchilada sauce, divided
5 ounces crumbled queso fresco, divided
¼ cup Mexican crema
1 tablespoon Mexican crema
1 egg
6 each corn tortillas
3 ounces grated Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add ground chicken, stirring and breaking into crumbles until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour diced tomatoes with chiles and their liquid into the skillet and add taco seasoning. Stir to incorporate.
  • Combine 8 ounces enchilada sauce, 4 ounces queso fresco, Mexican crema, and egg in a bowl.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce into the bottom of an 8x6-inch glass casserole dish. Trim tortillas to have a straight edge if desired. Lay two tortillas in the enchilada sauce in the dish. Place some chicken mixture on top and ladle some enchilada sauce mixture over. Repeat layers. Top with remaining queso fresco and Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken and it turned out great. The lasagna was very flavorful and moist.

This was a great recipe! I used corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas and it turned out great. I also added some black beans and corn to the filling.

I made this last night and it was delicious! My husband and I both loved it. The only change I made was to use ground turkey instead of chicken. It was still very flavorful and moist.
