Good morning, y’all! I write this post from my bed in our new house. The boys are still sleeping for which I’m so grateful. Every muscle in my body is sore from moving in the last two days. I’m immensely grateful for “my people” {family and friends} who tirelessly helped us pack and move. I think I’m grieving in a way because I loved parts of our 120-year old home. Our landlord needed to move in, so we had to move out. But, all is well and our new house is much more suited for our family. {Photos to come.}
Back to this delicious recipe! I’ve been craving Chicken Enchiladas lately, but I wanted to create a quick recipe. A casserole that would be easier to make than rolling up a bunch of filled tortillas. So I created this Chicken Enchilada Casserole with some counsel from my sweet sister who is an amazing cook. It was a hit with my family, so I count that great success!
Chicken Enchilada {Easy Casserole}
- 2 cups enchilada sauce {I make mine homemade}
- 2 Tablespoons butter or coconut oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken {I had left over slow cooker chicken.}
- 1 15 oz can black beans
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 10 oz frozen corn
- 3/4 cup salsa
- 1 batch homemade taco seasoning
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large saucepan, saute onion, bell pepper and garlic in 2 Tablespoons of butter or coconut oil. When onion is transparent, remove pan from heat. Add chicken, black beans, cream cheese, frozen corn, salsa and taco seasoning and stir. You may need to put the saucepan back over low heat to melt the cream cheese completely.
Line the bottom of an oiled 13 x 9 baking dish with six corn tortillas. Pour 1 cup of enchilada sauce over tortillas. Then spread half of the chicken mixture over the enchilada sauce. Dollop sour cream over chicken mixture and spread it around. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese over that layer. Repeat layers with tortillas, remaining enchilada sauce, remaining chicken mixture and 1 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes or until casserole is bubbly. Serve with a salad or taco toppings {lettuce, tomato, avocado, cilantro, olives etc}
Enjoy! I know your family will love this one!
Have a lovely day, friends! I’m off to unpack some boxes and organize my house!

Hi Myra,
Thank you for the simplified version of this recipe. I’ve attempted the more “authentic” one and didn’t exactly meet with success..lol. May the upcoming holidays be merry and bright in your new home.
Hi, Myra! Thanks for this recipe; it looks easy and delish. I will miss your sweet little front porch, but pray you will unpack and settle in to your new home quickly!

I tried this recipe last night and it was great! Thanks for sharing.
I can’t wait to try these, I’d do it right now, if only I had chicken in the pantry. Have you ever substituted casserole for the shortening in the recipe? I never seem to keep shortening on hand anymore. It spoils before I ever use it.
We love Mexican and I’m always looking for new ways to make old recipes or simply new recipes. Thank you so much for sharing!
The casserole looks delicious and I can’t wait to try the homemade enchilada sauce!

I tried this casserole last week for dinner and I had to come back and tell you how delicious it is! My husband, who never really gets excited about food, couldn’t stop raving about it….and we fought over the leftovers all weekend
Thanks so much for a great recipe!
