Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 10 Flour tortillas
- 14 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel or similar)
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chopped onion, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
Cut the flour tortillas into quarters and arrange a single layer of tortilla pieces over the chicken mixture.
Top the tortillas with another layer of the chicken mixture, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken layer.
Repeat the layering process (tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese) until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum 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.
Let the tortilla bake cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy! This dish can also be frozen before baking for an easy meal later. To bake from frozen, add an additional 15-20 minutes to the baking time.
