GREEN ENCHILADAS
Easy, tasty, family-approved dinners are not just necessary during the school year. Summertime seems to be just as busy, sometimes even busier. This Creamy Green Chicken Enchilada Casserole comes together with just 6 ingredients! Using a store bought rotisserie chicken makes this dinner super simple.
Make a quick stop by the grocery store to get the chicken, green enchilada sauce, shredded cheese, cream cheese, tortillas and Farm Rich Avocado Slices (available now at select Walmart and Meijer stores).
The preparation for this dinner is easy-peasy. First prepare the avocado slices according to package instructions, get them nice and crispy. Debone the chicken, or if you have left over chicken from another meal that will work too. Mix half the enchilada sauce with the cream cheese. Cut the tortillas into strips or squares. Then just layer the prepped ingredients and bake.
Once this casserole is done baking you can serve it immediately or let it sit for awhile. If served immediately it will be a melty, cheesy pile of deliciousness. It will not look its best but it is so delicious no one will care.
However, if you let it sit and cool you will be able to cut those gorgeous slices that show every tasty layer.
The choice is yours.
Don’t forget to load up on the garnishes. . . more Crispy Avocado Slices, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, lime and hot sauce. Just to name a few.
However you decide to serve this Green Chicken Enchilada Casserole it is sure to be a hit!
