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:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your casserole turns out perfectly.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your casserole the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before adding it to the casserole. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Don't overcook the tortillas: The tortillas should be soft and pliable, but not mushy. Overcooked tortillas will make your casserole dry and crumbly.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese are both good options.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to season your casserole with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help bring out the flavors of the ingredients and make your casserole more delicious.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and golden brown: The casserole is done baking when it's bubbly and golden brown on top. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
