Rotisserie Chicken Enchilada Casserole (Gluten-Free)

If you get Mexican food cravings, look to our Rotisserie Chicken Enchilada Casserole. Rotisserie chicken, homemade enchilada sauce, tortillas, sour cream and green onions spiced with chilli powder, cumin, oregano and garlic. Everything is layered in a casserole dish with cheese and baked until all the flavours are melted together, and full of so much flavour.

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.
