VIVA LA CHICKEN!
No more boring chicken casserole. This is quick and good. A true family favorite! Note that for best results, this dish should be made a day in advance. However, I've made it at the last minute before and it has come out quite good (just a little soupier).

CHICKEN TORTILLA CASSEROLE
I got this recipe many years ago from a friend under the name of Viva La Chicken, but that's never what we call it. Regardless of the name, it is one of the favorites in my family and very easy to make. Times do not include letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight.

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!
