Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut the 6 corn tortillas into strips and set aside.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the 2 cups shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce until well coated.
Step 3
Spread 1/4 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9-inch baking dish. Layer half the tortilla strips, then the chicken mixture, then 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat layers with remaining tortillas, sauce, and cheese.
Step 4
Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden. Let stand for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with the 1/4 cup cilantro before serving.
Step 5
Serve hot, with extra enchilada sauce or sour cream if desired.
