Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 12 whole Corn tortillas
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10 oz) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter or nonstick spray for greasing
Directions
Step 1
Grease the inside of your crockpot with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, chopped onion, garlic powder, chili powder, and ground cumin. Stir well to combine into a smooth sauce.
Step 3
Layer 4 corn tortillas along the bottom of the crockpot, tearing them as needed to cover the surface evenly.
Step 4
Spread 1 cup of shredded chicken over the tortillas.
Step 5
Pour 1/3 of the sauce mixture over the chicken, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese on top of the sauce layer.
Step 7
Repeat the layers two more times (tortillas, chicken, sauce, cheese), ensuring the final layer has a generous amount of cheese at the top.
Step 8
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with your favorite toppings such as chopped cilantro, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños, if desired.
