Holy cow, this recipe was so good I had to make it two nights in a row, and the second night, I was home alone. It is soooo good!!! I halved the recipe, but silly me did not half the tomatoes and chilies. It put a little more zing in it, but I like moderately spicy food. The second night I ran out of cheesy doritoes so I just used plain, it's still good, but if at all possible put the cheesy doritoes in, it really adds to the flavor. I am definately putting this on our keeper list!!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Moxie!!

I have made this recipe with chicken and it was outstanding, but last night I decided to make it with ground round and make it more like a mexican lasagna. I fried 2 pounds of ground round and I layered corn tortillas, a layer of ground round and then the sauce and grated cheese. I also added one more can of Rotel to the sauce. It turned out fantastic! Lots of layers of corn tortillas and beef and layers of the cheesy sauce. Really, really love this stuff, moxie!! Thanks for posting! Orignal Review --Great casserole! I used 2 cans of Rotel and I used leftover fajita chicken that had been prepared with green & red peppers & onion. The sauce is so good! This pleased everyone, from the toddler to the teenager to Papa. Thanks, moxie!

As I put this into the oven, I told my dh and guests that this will either be really good or really bad. (Wasn't sure about the chips!) It was sooooo delicious!!! There was only 4 of us, but it was gone that night. I did make a few changes - I omited the cheese whiz and just threw in a couple slices of American cheese into the sauce. Also, no onions for us! Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe that I will be makig again, for sure!

Hi, I made this tonight for dinner... What great comfort food!!! Yum! I cut the recipe in half and still have enough for lunch tomorrow. I used crushed tostidos on the bottom of the pan. I love that it is easy, yet good. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I have been looking for a good recipe for this!

This chicken was so amazing! I loved the flavor. I must admit I was a little skeptical of the combination of flavors, so I sampled the cheese sauce as it was cooking on the stove. It was delicious! Then, just to be sure, I had to sample it again. Then again. And well...one more time. You get the idea. It was so good! I also have to say that it is even better the next day. My 5 y.o. decided to make a sandwich with it and it was actually pretty good. I have never thought to steam my chicken before and it worked really well. Thank you for that suggestion! I also replaced the cream soups with reduced fat versions, and you honestly could not tell. I must admit I didn't really like the chips that much - they got kinda soggy. I was hoping it would add a nice crunch to the chicken. Maybe next time I will sprinkle some chips on top. I cannot wait to make this again. Thank you!!!!

I was a bit skeptical, Moxie. Cheez Whiz and Doritos? But I just finished eating and I was pretty impressed! The only changes I made were to replace the mushroom soup shudder with celery soup and I used a precooked roasted chicken from the grocery store. My reasoning behind the 4 stars and not 5? Believe it or not, it was a bit too cheesy for my tastes. Next time I think I will cut it back a bit. As the food cooled off, it just got too stringy for me. Other than that, I really enjoyed my dinner and I must remember to thank mom42 for suggesting this recipe!

This review is late. The first time I made this I made it with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. It was soooo good. When you are tired of the "thanksgiving" taste but have leftover turkey this is a great recipe. The second time I made it with chicken. It was great that way too.

The flavors are really GREAT in this! But it was too "heavy" for our tastes. I'm thinking of adding an extra can of Rotel, leaving out the Cheez Whiz and only using a bottom layer of chips. I steamed my chicken in my rice cooker and it turned out perfect.
