Ingredients
- 3 cups enchilada sauce store-bought or homemade
- 12 corn tortillas cut into quarters
- 2 cups frozen corn kernels

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a casserole dish, spread 1/3 of the enchilada sauce.
- Top with 1/2 of the corn tortillas evenly.
- Add 1/2 of the frozen corn, topped with 1/3 of the scallions, then 1/2 of the chicken, another 1/3 of the enchilada sauce, and 1/2 of the cheese.
- Repeat layers starting with the remaining tortillas, and ending with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through and beginning to brown on top.
- Top with remaining scallions before serving.

Notes
- Vegetarian? I recommend substituting black beans and diced, steamed sweet potatoes for the chicken.
- Make ahead- assemble ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days until you are ready to bake. Freeze assembled casserole for up to 6 months in an airtight baking dish. Defrost in refrigerator for 24 hours before baking.
