Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Chilaquiles:
- 3 cups green enchilada sauce (or green salsa)
- 3 cups cooked turkey (or chicken, shredded or cut into small pieces)
- 5 ounces tortilla chips
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10 ounces Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)

- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
Preparation Steps:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking for a crispy texture.
- Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the green enchilada sauce and warm slightly. Add cooked turkey or chicken, stir to combine, and heat through for about 5 minutes.
- Step 3: Gently fold in the tortilla chips, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce and meat mixture. Add more enchilada sauce if needed.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the mixture, followed by dollops of sour cream. Mix gently to distribute.
- Step 5: Optional: Transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Step 6: Garnish with optional toppings such as chopped tomato, green onions, feta cheese, cilantro, and black pepper. Serve immediately.
