Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Casserole

Ingredients

  • 6 -8 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (use less if desired)
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 8 tortillas (depends on pan size for tortilla size)
  • 16 ounces shredded colby-monterey jack cheese (use more if desired)

Method

  1. Prepare the chicken by cooking it in an oven set to 350°F for about 10 minutes until it is completely white and cooked through. You can shred slightly thawed chicken in a food processor first, spreading it on a foiled sheet to bake. Once cooked, shred the chicken again.
  2. Take a large bowl and mix together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and the shredded chicken. Add black pepper to season the mixture.
  3. In a baking dish, such as a 9x13 pan or pie pan, spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture to cover the base. Top this with a sprinkle of the shredded cheese. Place one or two tortillas over the cheese to form a layer, depending on your pan size. Repeat these layering steps until all the chicken mixture is used. Finish by covering the final layer with the rest of the cheese.
  4. Bake the assembled casserole at 350°F for about 30 minutes. Leave it in the oven a bit longer if the cheese has not yet turned a golden brown.
