Description

A family favorite in my house!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend, Divided
  • ⅓ cups Milk
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Red Pepper
  • 1 box Corn Muffin Mix (such As Jiffy)
  • 15 ounces, weight Cream Style Corn
  • 4 ounces, weight Chopped Green Chilies (drained)
  • 10 ounces, weight Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken (I Use Rotisserie)
  • ½ cups Sour Cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup cheese, milk, egg, cumin, red pepper, corn muffin mix, corn, and green chilies; stir until moist. Pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Bake for 15 minutes. Pierce surface liberally with a fork. Pour enchilada sauce over the top. Top with chicken and remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.

Delicious!

Excellent! I added rinsed black beans to the chicken layer and it was delicious. Thanks so much for a super easy keeper!

Great recipe — so tasty and simple to throw together. The whole family loved it. Will definitely be making this recipe again, and soon!

This was soooo good, even my picky hubby loved it. I used leftover turkey (I think any leftover meat would work well.) & a 16 oz. jar of enchilada sauce. It will definitely be making a repeat appearance on our table.

This is delicious! Very simple and tasty. I’ve always wanted to love “mexican casseroles” but most of them either don’t live up to my expectations or don’t taste good enough to make them worth the work. This wasn’t a lot of work, and was yummy! Thanks for sharing!

I made it for dinner with my brother one night.. he went crazy over it. I thought it was really good, I just didn’t care for how corn-y it tasted.. maybe it was the creamed corn? I’m not sure..

This was delish! My husband, young kids and I loved it! I started off by using the crockpot chicken taco recipe someone else suggested. It was the perfect mix of spicy and sweet!
