Ingredients
- cooking oil spray
- 6 corn tortillas
- 1 egg large
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa mild, chunky
- 1 pound chicken breast cooked and shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese cubed
- 2 tablespoons cilantro fresh, chopped
- 3 scallion chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups Mexican cheese blend or a blend of Monterey Jack and Mild Cheddar, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place the tortillas on an oil sprayed baking sheet, then spray the tops with additional oil.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, remove and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk one egg. Add the milk, sour cream, salsa, shredded chicken, cubed cream cheese, cilantro, scallions and salt. Stir to combine.
- Arrange half of the par-baked tortillas on the bottom of an oil sprayed 7×11 baking dish. Layer half the chicken mixture on top of the tortillas, then layer 1 cup of the cheese blend on top.
- Continue to layer the rest of the tortillas on top, followed by the remaining chicken mixture and cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
Notes
- Par-bake the tortillas: This step is key to keeping the layers from becoming soggy.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the lasagna up to a day ahead, then cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Freezing: You can freeze the lasagna either before or after baking. If freezing before, bake from frozen, adding an extra 10-15 minutes of cook time.
