Mexican Chicken Tortilla Lasagna
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread about 4 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the bottom of an 8x6-inch baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce into a medium bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour the diced tomatoes with their liquid into the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning until blended.

  3. 3

    To the enchilada sauce in the bowl, add 4 ounces queso fresco, 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Mexican crema, and the egg; stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Trim the tortillas to have a straight edge if desired. Lay two tortillas in the enchilada sauce in the baking dish; top with some of the chicken mixture and some of the enchilada sauce mixture. Repeat the layers (tortillas, chicken, sauce) two more times. Top with the remaining queso fresco and the Cheddar cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 more minutes. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
