Lazy Chicken Enchiladas made in a bag

 Lazy Chicken Enchiladas made in a bag


This is so quick and easy to make! Just throw it all in a zip bag, mix, pour in a dish and bake in the oven!


Ingredients

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast

12 corn tortillas, torn or ripped into bite-sized pieces

1 large (28oz) can of green chili enchilada sauce

2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Dried chives (optional)

1 large (gallon-sized) Ziploc bag.

(See note for additional add in ideas)


Instructions

  1. LAYER the shredded chicken, torn tortillas, and enchilada sauce inside the gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
  2. Seal the bag and shake or massage it until all tortilla pieces and chicken are thoroughly coated in the sauce. (it mixes easier if you layer in step #1).
  3. Pour a layer of the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 casserole dish.
  4. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over the chicken mixture. Repeat the layering process 1-2 more times until you’ve used all the chicken mixture. Sprinkle dried cloves on top if using.
  5. Place in a preheated oven at 400° for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
  6. Serves 4-5. 

NOTE: You can add in things like green chilis, jalapeno, black olives, onions, beans, salsa, etc. Also put some sour cream, diced tomatoes and shredded lettuce on top. So many options!
