Tips for Making Turkey Chilaquiles Casserole

Use day-old corn tortillas for the best texture. Fresh tortillas will be too soft and fall apart.

Be sure to fry the tortillas in a single layer in the oil. This will help them to crisp up evenly.

Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the turkey. This will also prevent it from cooking evenly.

Use a variety of cheeses in the casserole. This will give it a more complex flavor.

Top the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Serve the casserole immediately while it's hot and bubbly. ###
