This is perfect for when you have a lot of pieces of leftovers in the fridge. Toss it together, omit or replace, it's a pretty flexible menu. I made it tonight and it was AMAZING.
I didn't write it, though. Not sure where the casserole recipe came from, but the rice one came off the internet.
Chicken Tortilla Casserole (4-6 servings)
½ cup chicken broth
½ c chopped onion
¼ c chopped celery
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
10 flour tortillas (6 inches), torn into bit-sized pieces
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chiles
¾ c shredded cheddar cheese, divided
¾ c shredded Monterey jack cheese, divided
½ tsp pepper
1 c salsa
In a saucepan, bring the broth, onion and celery to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Place in a large bowl; add chicken, tortillas, soup, chilies, ½ cup cheddar cheese, ½ c Monterey jack cheese and pepper.
Transfer to a greased 11x7x2 baking dish. Top with salsa and remaining cheeses. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.
