Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 12 corn tortillas, torn into pieces
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin, cooking for an additional minute.
  • Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of chicken soup. Stir until well combined, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the torn tortillas.
  • Add half of the shredded chicken, followed by half of the sauce mixture, and sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the top.
  • Repeat layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken, sauce, and cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use flour tortillas if you prefer, but corn tortillas give a more authentic Tex-Mex flavor.
  • Spice it up by adding chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Leftovers reheat well and can be frozen for later.
