How to Make Mexican Chicken Bake Easy Chilaquiles

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cut tortilla pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crispy. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, crispy tortilla pieces, and enchilada sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the chicken and tortilla mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Top with shredded Mexican cheese.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
  9. Serve immediately with a side of Mexican rice.
