Twice a month I make chicken enchiladas, lasagna-style. It’s a regular with us because assembly is easy and my whole family gives it a thumbs-up. —Cheryl Snavely, Hagerstown, Maryland

Ingredients

2 cans (10 ounces each) enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas (6 inches)
2 cups coarsely shredded rotisserie chicken
1 small onion, chopped
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
3 cans (4 ounces each) whole green chiles, drained and coarsely chopped
3 cups crumbled queso fresco or shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 medium ripe avocados
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chopped fresh tomatoes and cilantro

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; top with 4 tortillas, 1 cup chicken, 1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup beans, 1/3 cup green chiles and 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Drizzle with 1/2 cup enchilada sauce; top with the remaining tortillas, onion, beans, chiles, sauce and cheese.
Bake, uncovered, until lasagna is bubbly and cheese is melted, 25-30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
