I was planning on making cheese enchilada casseroles for Mothers Day
Somehow my mind drifted to fajitas, I ended up with this -
Chicken Fajita Enchilada Casserole
A creation of mine...
You will need approximately;
1 Can of refried beans mixed with two tablespoons of plain yogurt
12 Corn Tortillas
1 Can Enchilada sauce
2-3 Cups of grated cheddar, I use the sharp
2 Onions
2 Bell Pepper, Red is good
1 Small can diced green chili peppers
1 Can diced green chilies
2 Cups cooked chicken, I used tenders
Rub for the chicken;
1 tbsp; chili powder, cumin, oregano
1.5 tsp onion and garlic powder
If your really lazy you could use fajita or taco seasoning mix
Put the chicken in a plastic bag with the rub and coat evenly. Refrigerate an hour or longer.
Next cut the peppers and onions into strips and cook as you would for fajitas
with a nice char.
While the veggies are cooking shred the cooled chicken
and toss with the can of green chilies.
and toss with the can of green chilies.
Spray your 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray then begin to layer;
Enchilada sauce
Tortillas
