LAYERED CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

"Make this casserole up to 8 hours in advance, then cover and refrigerate until it's time to bake it."

2 cups diced cooked chicken
3 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese (12 oz), divided use
1 can (4.5 oz) Old EI Paso chopped green chiles, undrained
3/4 cup sour cream
1 package (11.5 oz) old EI Paso flour tortillas for burritos (8 tortillas)
1 can (16 oz) Old EI Paso refried beans
1 can (10 oz) old EI Paso enchilada sauce
GARNISHES:
4 medium green onions, sliced (i/4 cup)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, chopped (3/4 cup)

Heat oven to 350 degree F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

In medium bowl, mix chicken, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, the green chiles and sour cream; set aside.

Layer 3 tortillas in baking dish, overlapping as necessary and placing slightly up sides of dish (cut third tortilla in half). Spread about half of the beans over tortillas. Top with about half of the chicken mixture and half of the enchilada sauce. Layer with 3 more tortillas and remaining beans and chicken mixture. Place remaining 2 tortillas over chicken mixture, overlapping slightly (do not place up sides of dish).

Pour remaining enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Cover baking dish with foil.

Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until bubbly and thoroughly heated. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.

Garnish casserole or individual servings with onions, lettuce and tomato.
