Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or oil.

Repeat the layers two more times (tortillas, chicken mixture, green enchilada sauce, cheeses), ending with a layer of cheese on top.

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
