1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1/2 in cubes
2 tsp each: cumin, sea salt, oregano
2 cups enchilada sauce
1/2 cup green onion
1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli
1/2 cup finely chopped Anaheim peppers (I got mine from mom’s garden)
8-9 large corn tortillas (we like Trader Joe’s homemade corn tortillas)
1.5 cups shredded raw white cheddar, also from T. Joes.
Once enchilada sauce is prepared, set aside 1 cup. Add the chicken and the spices to the remaining enchilada sauce in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli to the chicken mix and cook until chicken is done – about another 5-7 min on medium heat. Stir regularly to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, layer a deep dish pie pan with tortillas. Cut the tortillas in half and lay on the bottom of the dish, covering as much area as possible. Add 1/3 of the shredded cheese. When chicken mix is done, add 1/3 of it to the pie dish, then 1/3 of the green onions, 1/3 of the Anaheim peppers, and 1/3 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce. Repeat the process of layering. Once the top layer of tortillas is added, sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of cheese, onion and peppers and sauce on top. You can garnish with chopped black olives if you like.
Bake at 325 for about 18-20 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Tastes even better the next day.
Serve with refried beans and chopped cilantro
Sounds Delish! Rumor has it that Trader Joe’s is going in at the old S. Albertson’s location. I can’t wait!!
Thank you Rebecca! I’m going to try this for sure!!!! 🙂
