Corn Tortilla Chicken Lasagna Recipe

Reviewed on Oct. 08, 2012 by DLWagner

I make lunch once a week for a group of 20 homeless people at a local church. I make the food at home and deliver/serve it. I'm always looking for new recipies for a crowd, and am so glad to have found this one. It was a huge hit. Everyone raved, including the staff. I used a mild salsa not knowing whether everyone would enjoy a more pungent one, and there was hot sauce on hand for people to season to their own taste. I followed as directed and they LOVED it. Thank you so much for this submission.

After reading through the recipe and thinking about the ingredients, I thought "AHA!" this one is a keeper because it looks so adaptable. So, I followed the recipe with some changes: someone commented that their corn tortillas got soggy so I lightly sauteed room temperature corn tortillas on each side for 7-8 seconds in moderately hot vegetable oil and then blotted them well in paper towels - the oil became a barrier to leaking through. I used black beans by Bush instead of kidney beans and fresh salsa from my grocer's deli section. All in all it's a terrific recipe - so easy follow and so easy to change to your own tastes. I am definitely making this over and over again! Thank you Susan for sharing it!!!

This casserole turned out very mushy- I won't be making it again.

I added jalepenos and a little of the chicken broth after I boiled the chicken breasts. We had to do a homemade salsa because my friend has diverticulitis and cannot have seeds.

LOVED this inexpensive, easy recipe. I used pinto beans (although I would probably use black beans next time), a Mexican shredded cheese blend, and medium salsa. It was delicious. It tasted great leftover too, although the bottom layer of tortillas got a bit soggy. I will definitely be making it again, at the request of my fiance! He even bragged about it to his mom... score!

BTW it also freezes very well. Just don't put the cheese on the top layer until you are ready to bake it...

This recipe was excellent. My whole family raved about it, so its definitely a keeper. I did vary it a little. I used 1 quart of salsa mixed with the sour cream, I also left out the green peppers since we didn't have any. I used just one can of chopped olives and more cheese. I do think that it could use a little bit more seasoning. So next time I will probably add some taco seasoning to the chicken and maybe throw in some chopped jalapenos!

This is wonderful and easily halved if you don't want two casseroles.

I cut this recipe in half...and used red bell peppers instead of green like many of you did. We liked it...didn't LOVE it...this dish tasted better as a left over for some reason. I will make it again....but not often, I think it will make for a great pot luck dish!

Our family loves this casserole, and I make it a couple times a year. It has a wonderful Mexican flavor, but if you use mild salsa, it's not too spicy. We omit the green peppers and olives as our family doesn't care for them, and we also use light sour cream to cut the calories and fat.

Took this to a potluck. Was asked repeatedly to please give out the recipe.

Very easy & inexpensive to make! Since this was my first try of this recipe, split amounts called for and make just one 13X9 pan until I was able to see how it came out. When I made it, I used a combination of red and green peppers (keeping the 3 cups called for if doing the 2 pan method), used 4 cups of cubed cooked chicken breasts, added in 1 cup of corn kernels, used 4.5 oz black olives, substituted black beans for the kidney beans, and used a combination of Mexican style and Monterey Jack cheeses. Absolutely LOVE this recipe and its versitility! Will definitely make this recipe again!

We don't like cooked green peppers, so I switched them for red peppers and just didn't include the olives. I made it months ago for the first time and my husband loved it so much he has been asking for me to make it again.

It has helped me to mix all the ingredients in the amounts requested so then i get a nice sauce to just spread over the tortillas. 10 minutes uncovered i found it to be perfect so it does not dry out.

I also made some adjustments...added one can of black beans in place of kidney, added one small can diced chiles, diced red onion, and cumin to taste. It was a big hit, and I will make it again! Nice texture...not mushy...thanks T of H!!!

This was very tasty, but it needs a lot more chicken. Also I was suprised that there were no onions in the recipe. I added chopped onions. It turned out real good
