From what I hear, it's impossible to go to any sort of potluck in Texas and not see one of these.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 white onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 cooked chicken, torn into shreds or cut into chunks
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
10 corn tortillas, cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Saute onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in hot oil until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Combine onion-pepper mixture, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, sour cream, cumin, ancho chile powder, oregano, and chipotle chile powder together in a large bowl and stir until sauce is well-combined.
  • Spread a few tablespoons of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread 1/2 the chicken over the sauce. Spread about half the sauce over the chicken and top with 1/3 the cheese. Spread a layer of tortillas over the cheese. Spread remaining 1/2 the chicken over the tortillas, and top with almost all of the remaining sauce, reserving 1/2 cup sauce. Top with 1/3 the cheese, remaining tortillas, the reserved 1/2 cup sauce, and remaining 1/3 cheese.
  • Bake casserole in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to broil. Broil the casserole until top is golden, 2 to 3 minutes more.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the sauce and ate all of their vegetables.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu in this recipe instead of chicken. It turned out great and I loved the texture of the tofu.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk in this recipe. It turned out great and I didn't miss the dairy at all.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tortillas. I used corn tortillas and they worked perfectly.

I added a can of corn to this recipe and it was delicious. It added a bit of sweetness and crunch.

This recipe is a keeper! I've tried several different king ranch chicken recipes and this one is by far the best. The sauce is amazing and the chicken is so tender.
