Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken Tortilla Casserole.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your microwave and greasing a 9x12-inch microwave-safe baking dish, setting it aside for later use.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then add chopped onion, sautéing until it turns tender and translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, incorporate the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and ground cumin, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Now, layer four corn tortillas at the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Step 5
On top of the tortillas, spread one can of drained green chiles, followed by 1 1/2 cups of cubed chicken, half of the creamy soup mixture, and half of both the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Step 6
Repeat this layering process with the remaining ingredients, ensuring the final layer consists of Monterey Jack cheese.
Step 7
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, then cook on high in the microwave until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese has melted, which should take around ten minutes.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your dish transforms into a cheesy, comforting masterpiece!.
