Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Chicken Chilaquiles with Chorizo.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Toss in the chorizo and cook it, stirring frequently, until it becomes wonderfully crumbly—this should take about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Next, add the cubed chicken to the skillet, continuing to cook and stir occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, which will take around 10 minutes.
Step 5
Now, let’s build our flavorful layers! In a casserole dish, spread half of the tortilla chips evenly across the bottom.
Step 6
On top of those crispy chips, layer the delicious chicken and chorizo mixture you just cooked.
Step 7
Sprinkle the frozen corn evenly over this savory layer, and then add the remaining tortilla chips on top for that perfect crunch.
Step 8
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the green enchilada sauce and sour cream until they blend into a creamy, tangy delight.
Step 9
Pour this luscious mixture over the layered chips and chicken, ensuring every bite will be packed with flavor.
Step 10
To finish it off, generously sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top, because who doesn’t love a cheesy finish? Now it’s time to bake! Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 11
Keep an eye on it as it transforms into a bubbly, golden masterpiece, with the chips starting to brown just right.
Step 12
Once it’s done, take a moment to admire your creation before diving in.
Step 13
Enjoy every cheesy, spicy bite of this delightful casserole!.
