5 Ingredients or Less/ Enchilada Bake

I love recipes that have 5 ingredients or less. They just seem so much easier to make, probably because they can go together quickly. So I thought it would be fun if everyone would share their favorite recipe with 5 ingredients or less. I'll start with mine.

4 1/2 c cubed, cooked chicken
1 can (28 oz) green enchilada sauce
1 1/4 c (10 oz) sour cream
9 corn tortillas (6 in.), cut into 1 1/2 in. pieces
4 c shredded cheese

In a greased 9 x 13 pan, layer half of the chicken, enchilada sauce, sour cream, tortillas, and cheese. Repeat layers.
Cover and bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
Uncover and bake 10 more minutes or until bubbly.
Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

I found this recipe in the Taste of Home and it has quickly become one of our favorites. I usually cut in half and use a smaller can of enchilada sauce. I don't really measure anything, just put it in the pan until it looks good. Also I have found it easier to mix the sour cream and enchilada sauce together before layering everything together.

Enjoy, and I hope you will all share a 5 or even 6 ingredient recipe.
