Instructions
- Prepare the enchilada sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bringing to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, prep the other ingredients and preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Pour about ⅓ of the sauce into a 9" x 13" lasagna baking dish and spread it to cover the bottom.
- Layer half of the shredded chicken, corn, black beans, tortillas, and ¼ of the cheese on top of the sauce.
- Repeat the layering with another ⅓ of the sauce, the remaining chicken, corn, black beans, ¼ of the cheese, and half of the sliced jalapenos.
- Finish with the remaining tortillas, sauce, cheese, and jalapenos.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Once baked, garnish with chopped cilantro, diced avocado, diced tomato, and sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately with sour cream and additional garnishes.
