Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Fat-free sour cream
- 1 can (4 ounces) Green chilies, diced
- 2 cups Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, fat-free sour cream, diced green chilies, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the soup mixture (about 2 tablespoons) on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking.
Cut the corn tortillas in halves or quarters for easier layering.
Layer the casserole as follows: lay a single layer of tortilla pieces to cover the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of shredded chicken, a sprinkle of chopped onions, a layer of the soup mixture, and about 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat this process two more times, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the 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 casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
