This is a recipe that my mom made a lot when we had left over tortillas. I loved it when the tortillas were crunchy and smothered in cheese. :D Posted for Zaar World Tour 05

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chopped chicken
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa (optional)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (14 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn, thawed
12 corn tortillas (6 inch)
1 lb shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1 (4 ounce) can black olives

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 375°F
  • Brown the chicken with the onion and peppers in a large skillet, stirring frequently; drain.
  • Stir in salsa, cream of mushroom, tomatoes and corn; bring to boil.
  • Place 6 tortillas, overlapping as necessary onto the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Spoon the chicken mixture over tortillas; top with 1 cup of the cheese. Top with the remaining 6 tortillas. Cover with foil.
  • BAKE 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.
  • Remove from oven; uncover. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Turn off the oven and replace the dish untils the cheese is melted.
  • Serve hot with a salad, chips or cold fruit on the side. Don't forget the sour cream!
  • Note: Sometimes Mom would add spices or salsa to the cheese topping. Or Ortega chiles. I loved it when she added some salt & pepper with garlic and the the Ortegas. This is still one of my favorite meals. :D. Especially when we had a fruit salad on the side.
