Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light layer of oil.

Repeat the layers: add the remaining tortilla chips, followed by the remaining chicken, salsa, and cheese.
Step 5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
Step 6
After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
