Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups Sour cream
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup (canned)
- 1 can Green chilies (diced, canned)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 pieces Flour tortillas
- 3 cups Shredded cheese blend (cheddar or Mexican)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Spread a thin layer of the sour cream mixture over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Layer 3-4 tortillas across the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly to cover the surface.
Spread a third of the shredded chicken evenly over the tortillas.
Add a third of the sour cream mixture over the chicken, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle a third of the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Repeat this layering process two more times: tortillas, chicken, sour cream mixture, and cheese.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
