Chicken Tortilla Bake
Mother frequently made this comforting chicken tortilla casserole when I was growing up. Our family would scrape the pan clean. Chicken, cheese and zippy green chiles are a mouthwatering mix.—Jerri Moror, Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Simple, easy and delicious. Everyone wanted second helpings!
This is one of the first dishes I learned to make, but I've been cooking it for more 35 yrs now. I've made every version and have experimented with more. This is a great base version to start exploring with. Here's my staple version: ground beef or shredded chicken, chicken and mushroom cream style soups, picante salsa, canned green chilis, onion, cheddar, and NACHO DORITOS. Brown the onion, the meat (optional add taco seasoning for more flavor according to pkg directions), combine all, except for nacho chips, and set aside. Later your chips around and on bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Spread your soup mixture over the chips, top with some grated cheddar, and bake at 350 for about 30 to 35 minutes. Don't have the soup, the salsa, or chips? No problemo - try sour cream, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, mayo, Velveeta, cheez whiz, corn tortillas, tortilla chips, flour tortillas, or leave off and layer seeded, sliced jalapenos for a jalapeno poppers version. I ALWAYS use green chilies no matter what else I add or sub. This can be layered with the chips or tortillas for a a layered enchilada type dish, or use it as a dip instead by covering the top with bacon bits, and a combination of parmesan, chicharrones, and bread crumbs (use a zip lock to crumble the pork rinds or place in a bullet and give a couple of pulses with the cheese/crumbs). For example, tonight I'm making a jalapeno popper x enchilada casserole, no soups involved and will serve with a side of room temp strawberry preserves. Absolutely delicious.

I added a can of San Marcos peppers in brim, I had to diced them up because they are canned long ways. It gave this recipe a kick of flavor, and its an easy recipe. I loved it.
