Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.25 Pounds (lb) chorizo
• 2 Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, diced
• 0.5 10 Ounces (oz) bag tortilla chips
• 1 Cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 19 Ounces (oz) can green enchilada sauce
• 0.5 Cup sour cream
• 2 Cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the chorizo in the hot skillet until crumbly, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken; cook and stir until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
3. Spread half of the tortilla chips over the bottom of a casserole dish; top the chips with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle the corn evenly over the chicken mixture and layer the remaining chips on top.
4. Whisk the green enchilada sauce and sour cream in a mixing bowl; pour over the chips and top with Monterey Jack cheese, shredded.
5. Bake the chilaquiles in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and the chips begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
