Tortilla Chicken Casserole image

Easy tasty casserole just right for lunch or dinner. Serve with a green salad and perhaps some refried beans. If you wish you may skip the center layer of tortillas and only use 6 tortillas (personally I like the center layer). If you skip the center layer still put in half of the cheese after you have poured in half of the chicken mixture.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tortillas made it a bit different from other chicken casseroles I've tried.

This tortilla chicken casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and the flavor was amazing. I used rotisserie chicken which made it even easier. I will definitely be making this again.
