Chicken tortilla casserole

I'm not all that keen on red meat. For example, I've never bought a steak in my entire life. I'll eat a few bites now and then, but it just doesn't taste that good to me. I know, I'm weird. There's no other way to explain it.
Chicken and I, however, have a beautiful relationship. And we've grown even closer since I've introduced it to my slow cooker. A match made in heaven: throw in the meat in the morning and by evening it's fully cooked, juicy, and shreds beautifully. How much easier could it get? The cooked meat can be used in a number of dishes, from soups to sandwiches to one of my new favorites, this chicken tortilla casserole.
Start with four cups of cooked, shredded chicken.
Then combine green onion, sour cream and cheddar cheese, along with chicken broth, green chiles, salt, cumin, black pepper and cream of chicken soup. Mmmm!
Then start layering: the soup mixture, corn tortillas, chicken and more cheese. Repeat several times. Pop it in the oven for about a half hour.
The end result is delicious! Serve with salsa for more of a mexican flare.

oh got to try this it looks fabulous love Mexican flavours and a little spice.
LOVE, LOVE this recipe!! I have made it several times and it is so simple, yet really yummy! I have added Rotel in place of the green chiles or a little salsa too and it is just as good! Thanks for this great recipe! :)
Just curious as to what you put in your crock pot with your chicken to get it perfect? I have tried making chicken in the crock pot to use in a dinner that night and it seems to come out dry. Thanks!
Hi Ashley! Try adding chicken broth and water to your crock pot, and be sure you don't overcook it. Also, cooking on low helps.
