For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained black beans to the chicken mixture. To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, lightly brush them with oil before layering. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.

A delightful layered casserole where tender corn tortillas embrace a creamy blend of chicken and zesty green chile peppers, all crowned with a generous layer of melted Cheddar cheese. This comforting dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner and pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad.

May 16, 2024The tortillas were a little too soft for my liking, so next time I'll try baking them in the oven for a few minutes before layering.
