Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, this deliciously simple Chicken Enchiladas casserole will rock your taste buds. I’ve added a sour cream sauce for extra yum.

 

My chicken enchiladas casserole has tons of flavor, but you can add more heat to this dish by simply adding more hot sauce and two chopped jalapeño peppers, instead of just one. Don’t skimp on the heat for the holiday. Have fun, adding your own spin to this wonderful Mexican meal. Enjoy!

I’ve included links to my favorite ingredients when possible, but feel free to use any brand you love. I also recommend this KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer for a great cooking experience.
