South Of The Border Chicken Tortilla Casserole image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 deboned chicken or about 1 pound chicken breast or turkey mean
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of celery soup or cream of mushroom soup
1 (7-ounce) can green chili salsa
1 (6-ounce) can sliced black olives
ground cumin, about as much as a good two finger chew of Copenhagen
1 to 2 (7-ounce) can green chili, whole or diced, drained
8 to 10 corn tortillas
1/2 pound low fat, shredded cheddar Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine cooked meat, soup, salsa, olives, and cumin. If using diced chiles, add them, too. If whole chiles are used, split open and flatten out to make a layer with later. Put a layer of tortillas, whole or torn, in the bottom of 12-inch Dutch oven. Cover this with half of the meat and soup mixture, and all the whole chiles, if using them. Then add one half the cheese, and another layer of tortillas. Then add the remaining meat mixture and the last of the cheese. Put lid on the Dutch and add briquets to lid until almost covered with one layer of briquets. Don't put more than 3 briquets under the bottom. Cook for about 30 minutes in the summer and about 45 minutes in the winter. If made in a smaller Dutch, cooking time is a little longer as the layers are thicker. Serve with hot salsa.

I made this casserole for my family and they loved it! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. The tortillas added a nice touch of texture and flavor.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great dish to freeze for later.
