Pioneer Woman Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe

This Pioneer Woman chicken enchilada casserole is packed with flavor and so easy to layer together.
Start by layering hearty corn tortillas, tender shredded chicken, and a creamy, cheesy sauce for a dish that's robust and satisfying.
Want a good tip?
Gently warming the tortillas beforehand allows them to roll better and absorb the delicious sauce more thoroughly.
Another reason I love this recipe is its flexibility—switch out the chicken for beef or even a vegetarian filling with black beans and roasted veggies.
