This casserole is so versatile! You can add whatever vegetables or meat you like. I've made it with ground beef, black beans, and corn. It's always delicious.

I'm not a big fan of corn tortillas, so I used flour tortillas instead. It worked perfectly and the casserole was still delicious.

I made this casserole in a slow cooker. It turned out great! I just browned the chicken and then added it to the slow cooker with all of the other ingredients. I cooked it on low for 8 hours and it was perfect.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this casserole without the chicken. It was still delicious! I used a combination of black beans, corn, and bell peppers instead of the chicken.

This casserole is a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids' diet. I added some chopped spinach and zucchini to the chicken mixture and they didn't even notice!

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The casserole was flavorful and satisfying.
