Servings 8
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Cooked, Shredded Chicken I used a rotisserie chicken
- 1 oz Taco Seasoning
- 19 oz Can of Red Enchilada Sauce, divided
- 4 oz Can of Diced Chilies
- 1/4 Cup Sour Cream
- 8 oz Shredded Sharp Cheddar
- 8 oz Shredded Pepper Jack mix the two cheeses together
- 16 Taco-Sized Flour Tortillas
- 1-2 Cups Vegetable Oil for frying the tortillas
- 16 oz Can of Refried Beans
- 1-2 Tomatoes, diced for garnish
- 3-4 Sliced Green Onions for garnish
Instructions
- Shred the rotisserie chicken and mix with taco seasoning, 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce, the green chilies, sour cream, and 1 cup of the mixed cheese.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat and fry the tortillas until golden brown and crispy. This takes just a minute or two per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble by spreading refried beans on one tortilla, topping with a couple spoonfuls of the chicken mixture, a bit of the cheese, and placing another tortilla on top.
- Spread about 3 tbsp of the enchilada sauce over the top tortilla and sprinkle with more cheese.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with diced tomatoes and green onions.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
For lower carbs and calories, use low carb tortillas
Swap the sour cream for Greek yogurt for more protein.
