Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x12-inch casserole dish.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and golden.
- Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the spices to bloom.
- Add shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through, then remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, combine salsa verde and sour cream. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
- Spread ¾ cup of the salsa mixture on the bottom of the greased casserole dish. Arrange half of the tortillas over the sauce.
- Layer half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, then drizzle with 1 cup of the remaining salsa mixture. Sprinkle ½ cup of Monterey Jack cheese over this layer.
- Repeat layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken, and another drizzle of salsa, topping with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a slight golden hue.
- Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set properly.
