STEPS
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread about 4 tablespoons enchilada sauce over the bottom of an 8x6-inch baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce into a medium bowl.
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground chicken and sauté until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour diced tomatoes and liquid into the skillet and stir in taco seasoning until incorporated.
To the enchilada sauce in the bowl, add 4 ounces queso fresco, 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Mexican crema, and egg; stir to combine.
Trim tortillas to have a straight edge if desired. Layer tortillas, chicken mixture, and enchilada sauce mixture in the baking dish, repeating for 3 layers. Top with remaining queso fresco and Cheddar cheese.
Bake covered for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
