Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions until translucent, then add the minced garlic and diced green chilies. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet along with the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let it cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the enchilada sauce with half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. In a greased casserole dish, spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce mixture on the bottom.
6. Layer half of the chicken mixture over the sauce, then pour half of the remaining enchilada sauce over the chicken.
7. Repeat the layers with the remaining chicken mixture and enchilada sauce.
8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the casserole.
9. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy on top.
11. Once done, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
12. Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as chopped cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños
