I cut the recipe in half, but used 3 cups of rotisserie chicken. I used Hatch Green Enchilada Sauce as the Old El Paso brand was not as flavorful. My husband and I have leftovers for one more night. GREAT RECIPE and very EASY! I served it with individual salads of shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, avocado slices and vinaigrette dressing drizzled over. I also used a deeper casserole dish!

This dish is even better in a smaller and deeper dish. It was a huge hit at my house. Great for left over chicken.

I made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! Cant wait to eat the leftovers through the week. I used 3 10 oz packages of Tyson grilled chicken strips and cubed them instead of the rotisserie chicken (then I bought some other flavors for wraps for lunch) I also added 5 additional tortillas and bumped up the sour cream to 2 cups. I had to use a jack/cheddar blend because my store didnt have JUST monteray jack. It was so good, the only thing I would do different is use a full fat cheese instead of the 2% because it didnt melt as nicely as it could have. (It kinda stayed in sheets) But I will definitely make again.
