Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 2 cans Diced green chiles
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 10 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced green chiles, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer 5 corn tortillas evenly over the chicken mixture, overlapping slightly if needed.
Spread half of the remaining chicken mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese on top.
Repeat the layering process: add another layer of 5 tortillas, the remaining chicken mixture, and top with the last cup of shredded cheese.
Cover the casserole lightly 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.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
