Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 packet ranch seasoning
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1 can enchilada sauce
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch seasoning. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent tortillas from sticking.
- Layer 4 corn tortillas on the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping to create a complete base layer.
- Spread half of the chicken and bacon mixture evenly over the tortilla layer.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the chicken mixture.
- Pour half of the remaining enchilada sauce over the cheese layer.
- Repeat the layering process with another 4 tortillas, remaining chicken mixture, 1 cup of cheese, and remaining enchilada sauce.
- Top with the final 4 tortillas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are slightly crispy.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Slice and serve hot.
Tips
- • For maximum flavor, use rotisserie chicken or freshly grilled chicken breasts instead of pre-packaged shredded chicken. • Make sure to crisp your bacon beforehand to add extra texture and intense smoky flavor. • Use fresh ranch seasoning for the most vibrant taste - homemade is always better than pre-packaged. • Let the enchiladas rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help them set and make cutting easier. • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or use a hot enchilada sauce. • Prep ingredients in advance to make assembly quick and easy. • Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or additional green onions for extra garnish. • This dish freezes beautifully - make an extra batch for future quick meals!
