Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. (45 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and roast them yourself, then shred the meat. Reserve the pan drippings and add them to the soup mixture for extra depth.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a milder flavor, use only 1 teaspoon. For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
If you don't have corn tortillas, flour tortillas can be substituted. However, the texture will be slightly different.

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! My family loves it, and it's so easy to customize with different veggies or cheeses.

    I made this for a potluck, and it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about the flavor, and I got asked for the recipe multiple times.

  • Ludie Schmeler

    I've made this recipe several times, and it always turns out great. The only change I make is to add a can of black beans for extra protein and fiber.
