  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or cheddar
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 8 ounces green chilis

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13" baking dish.
  • Make the sour cream sauce by mixing sour cream, cream of chicken soup, milk, chilis, and all spices in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
  • To assemble the casserole, start by layering the bottom of the baking dish with six corn tortillas.
  • For the second layer, spread half of the cooked and shredded chicken over the corn tortillas.
  • For the third layer, evenly spread half of the sour cream sauce over the shredded chicken.
  • For the fourth layer, sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sour cream sauce.

Notes

  • To save time, you can use canned chicken.
  • If you want to make this recipe spicier, you can: use fresh jalapeno, add a couple teaspoons of hot sauce, 1-2 teaspoons of chili powder, or ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sour cream sauce.
  • Optional toppings can be: salsa, pico de gallo, cilantro, and green onions.
