MEXICAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE

MEXICAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE
 Carola Shehan
  (This is a easy and very popular casserole. It was a favorite of my kids and is still a favorite when ever I make it. You can’t go wrong with this!!)

 1 LB  Jack cheese - grated
 1 can cream of mushroom soup
 1 can cream of chicken soup
 1 cup milk
 1 can Ortega diced green chilies
 1 can Ortega chili salsa
 1 chopped medium onion (optional)
 1 dozen corn tortillas 4-6 chicken breasts (cooked & shredded) I boil them in water with salt and garlic. 

Combine soups, milk, onion, chilies, and  salsa together and heat for about 10 minutes. Layer in a buttered 9 x 13 casserole starting with 6 corn tortillas (broken into small pieces), then sauce, chicken, sauce and then cheese. Then repeat, ending with cheese.
 Bake in 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Some great side dishes: Refried beans &/or Mexican rice. I have two great recipes for both. Let me know if you would like me to post them.
