Ingredients

  • 24 corn tortillas
  • 2 –3 cups green chile
  • 1 cup shredded jack cheese
  • 1 cup queso fresco cheese crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded or diced cooked turkey
  • 12 oz refried beans
  • 15 oz enchilada sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish or deep casserole.
  • Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  • Layer 6 corn tortillas across the base, overlapping as needed.
  • Spread the refried beans over the tortillas, and top with another layer of tortillas.
  • Add the shredded or diced turkey. Spoon over a generous layer of green chile over the turkey and half the shredded cheese.
  • Can make as many layers as you'd like - other mix-ins like rice, vegetables, and extra beans or meat are all great. For each extra layer, plan on at least 1/2 cup additional green chile sauce and cheese to keep casserole from drying out.
  • Add another layer of tortillas, drizzle enchilada sauce over the top, then top with the rest of jack cheese and some queso fresco.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing to help the layers set.
