Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the cheese with the corn, muffin mix, green chiles, milk, eggs, cumin, and chili powder. Stir just until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or just until set. Remove from the oven.
- Pierce the top with a fork or with a skewer liberally. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle the chicken over the top, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve topped with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
