SOUTH OF THE BORDER CHICKEN TORTILLA CASSEROLE



South Of The Border Chicken Tortilla Casserole image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 deboned chicken or about 1 pound chicken breast or turkey mean
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of celery soup or cream of mushroom soup
1 (7-ounce) can green chili salsa
1 (6-ounce) can sliced black olives
ground cumin, about as much as a good two finger chew of Copenhagen
1 to 2 (7-ounce) can green chili, whole or diced, drained
8 to 10 corn tortillas
1/2 pound low fat, shredded cheddar Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine cooked meat, soup, salsa, olives, and cumin. If using diced chiles, add them, too. If whole chiles are used, split open and flatten out to make a layer with later. Put a layer of tortillas, whole or torn, in the bottom of 12-inch Dutch oven. Cover this with half of the meat and soup mixture, and all the whole chiles, if using them. Then add one half the cheese, and another layer of tortillas. Then add the remaining meat mixture and the last of the cheese. Put lid on the Dutch and add briquets to lid until almost covered with one layer of briquets. Don't put more than 3 briquets under the bottom. Cook for about 30 minutes in the summer and about 45 minutes in the winter. If made in a smaller Dutch, cooking time is a little longer as the layers are thicker. Serve with hot salsa.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your casserole.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Mexican food is all about flavor, so don't be afraid to add a little bit of heat or spice to your dish.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so make sure you use a good quality cheese that will melt well.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

South of the Border Chicken Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a good dish to make ahead of time. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
