Description

A comforting Texan favorite featuring layers of chicken, tortillas, and creamy sauces, overflowing with rich flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 10 corn tortillas, cut into pieces
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a cheese blend)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for that perfect bake.
  2. Mix together the shredded chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, salsa, sour cream, chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a light coat of oil.
  4. Layer half of the tortilla pieces on the bottom of the dish.
  5. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.
  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the casserole bubbles joyfully and the cheese is golden.
  8. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a crispy topping, pop it under the broiler for a minute or two at the end of baking. You can assemble the casserole a day in advance; just cover it with foil and refrigerate.
