Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup enchilada sauce divided
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
- 4 ounces canned green chiles
- 1 cup freshly shredded monterey jack cheese divided
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Add the cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce, corn, green chiles, 1/2 cup of monterey jack, 1/2 cup of cheddar, cumin, and chili powder to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
- Place one tortilla in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with 1/4 of the filling. Top with 1/3 of the chicken.
- Repeat the layers. The top layer will have just a tortilla and the filling. Spread remaining enchilada sauce over the top layer and sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes
- You can use either red or green enchilada sauce, depending on your preferences. We think both are delicious in this recipe.
- Try topping this off with some minced onion, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
