Chicken Tortilla Casserole California-Style

Recipe #24939 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Stewie
Apr 11, 2002

A family favorite! I often make it to freeze in portions for my family to take to work (reheats easily in a microwave). I generally make this as low-fat as possible using skim milk, low-fat cheeses, tortillas & soups.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Microwave (or otherwise cook) chicken until tender.
  2. 2
    Bone and lay in chunks in a greased large shallow baking dish.
  3. 3
    Break up 1 dozen flour tortillas and lay them on top of the chicken.
  4. 4
    Mix together the soups, onion, chili, milk and salsa.
  5. 5
    Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the chicken and tortillas.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle both cheeses on top of the casserole.
  7. 7
    You can freeze the casserole at this point if you wish.
  8. 8
    Bake the thawed casserole at 350F for 45 minutes.
  9. 9
    This also freezes well after it has been cooked.

    My family loves, loves, loves this dish. Next time I will triple this recipe and make 6 8" x 8" freezer meals. I may even try to alter the preparation, use large tortillas and make up as burritoes, then freeze.

    This is now one of my favorites. Gave some to my sister and she liked it as well. Freezes and re-heats well! Thanks!

    I made this tonight for my hungry marine husband. He loved it! To make it a little easier to prepare, I used canned cooked tyson breast meat chicken. I wasn't sure it was going to taste the same, but it did, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference! Super easy to prepare, a must try!
