VIVA LA CHICKEN TORTILLA CASSEROLE RECIPE



Viva La Chicken Tortilla Casserole Recipe image

Provided by รก-18954

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
6-8 tortillas
1 can cr. of chicken soup
1 can cr. of mushroom soup
1 c. milk
1 med. onion
1 7oz. can green chili salsa
1/2 lb. jack cheese
1/2 lb. cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Mix milk, soups, onion and salsa. Spray 9 x 13 casserole with Pam. Alternate tortillas, chicken, cheese and soup mixture; Reserve some cheese for the top. Bake at 300 for 1 1/2 hrs. May be prepared 24 hours ahead

Tips:

  • Use a variety of tortillas. You can use corn tortillas, flour tortillas, or a combination of both. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before adding them to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is overcooked will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, corn, and black beans.
  • Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own by combining cream of chicken soup, milk, and sour cream.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for chicken tortilla casserole. It adds flavor, texture, and a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Chicken tortilla casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its creamy sauce, flavorful chicken, and variety of vegetables, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken tortilla casserole a try!
