Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10 oz) canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) taco seasoning
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 10 corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced tomatoes with green chilies (including liquid), and taco seasoning. Stir until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Layer 5 corn tortillas over the chicken mixture, overlapping as necessary to cover the dish.
Spread half of the remaining chicken mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Repeat with the remaining 5 corn tortillas, the rest of the chicken mixture, and the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
