It\u2019s also incredibly easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello, did you see that there are only FIVE ingredients here? As I  was writing the recipe out I kinda couldn\u2019t believe it. This enchilada  casserole presents like something that took a really long time to make.  It\u2019s like free work or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Make a Yummy Enchilada Casserole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s whatcher gonna do. Put some sauce down. Now layer away. We\u2019ve got tortillas, beans, chicken, cheese and sauce all up in there. Go for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s top it all off with ze cheese. You pick! I used Mozzarella because I had it on hand \u2013 as one does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, more normally for an enchilada casserole, you could use  Monterrey Jack or Provolone or Colby Jack or Mexican flavored cheese or  anything you want. It\u2019s a baked Tex Mex situation, okay?&nbsp;Lots of cheese  is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chicken-Enchilada-Casserole-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/chicken_enchilada-169.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/chicken_enchilada-169.jpg 600w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/chicken_enchilada-169-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Let\u2019s Talk Enchilada Sauce Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Make your own enchilada sauce!
