Chicken enchilada casserole is a great way to use up leftovers!
What I love about this recipe, this Mexican enchilada casserole is a wonderful way to spruce up leftover chicken, turkey, pork or beef. But for this recipe, I used a rotisserie chicken for my layers in this casserole dish.
The chicken has plenty of flavour from the enchilada sauce and spices. To make the chicken extra creamy, I also added sour cream. The tortillas are used the same way as you would use pasta for lasagna.
And of course, plenty of cheese, you can’t have a Mexican dish without the cheese. This chicken enchilada casserole is for one of those nights when you are looking for something warm, comforting with a little spice.
Easiest homemade red enchilada sauce (makes 2 cups)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup GF vegetable or chicken broth
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. Tapioca flour/starch
1 Tbsp. GF chilli powder
1 tsp. GF dried oregano
1 tsp. GF ground cumin
1/8 tsp. GF ground cinnamon
2 tsp. Sweetener (I used pure maple syrup)
1 tsp. Apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp. Sea salt
–> Add everything into a medium saucepan and whisk until blended. Cook over medium-high heat stirring frequently until the sauce starts to boil and thickens. About 5 minutes. Adjust salt if needed. Cover and set aside until ready to use.

I see beans and corn in your picture but no beans or corn in your recipe ingredients. The picture does not match the recipe. What’s up with that?
