Method

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with olive oil spray.
  2. Prepare the sauce: Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.

  4. Stir in the tomato sauce and water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. You can strain the enchilada sauce if you wish. I usually don't.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken enchilada sauce, chile peppers, green onions and 1 cup cheese.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken enchilada sauce, chile peppers, green onions and 1 cup cheese.
