Ingredients

4 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
½ cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken condensed soup
½ cup milk
1 can chopped green chilis
2 cups Mexican Fiesta blend shredded cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
12 corn tortillas

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Layer 6 tortillas evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, chopped green chilis, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Stir until well mixed.

Step 3: Spread half of the shredded chicken evenly over the layer of tortillas.

Pour half of the creamy mixture over the chicken, making sure it’s distributed evenly.

Step 4: Sprinkle half of the shredded Mexican Fiesta cheese over the top.

Repeat the layering process: add another 6 tortillas, the remaining chicken, the remaining creamy mixture, and the remaining cheese.

Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Step 6: Once baked, let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
