CORN TORTILLA CHICKEN CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix chicken, taco seasoning mix, green chiles, frozen corn and enchilada sauce. Place 8 tortilla halves in bottom of baking dish.
• Top with half of the chicken mixture (about 2 1/4 cups). Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese.
• Top with remaining tortilla halves. Spoon remaining chicken mixture and remaining 1 cup cheese onto tortillas.
• Spray piece of foil large enough to cover baking dish with cooking spray. Cover baking dish with foil, sprayed side down. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
• To make ahead and freeze: Wrap foil-covered casserole in double layer of plastic wrap; label and freeze up to 3 months.
• To thaw and bake: Thaw overnight or until completely thawed in refrigerator. Remove plastic wrap. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until center is hot (165°F) and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3-quart oval or rectangular baking dish (13x9-inch) with cooking spray.
• In 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in condensed soup, enchilada sauce, milk, green chiles, chili powder, cumin and salt. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Spread 1 cup sauce mixture in bottom of baking dish. Arrange 6 tortillas on top of sauce mixture. Top with 1 cup chicken, 1/2 cup beans, 1/2 cup cheese and 1 cup sauce. Repeat with another layer of 6 tortillas, 1 cup chicken, 1/2 cup beans, 1/2 cup cheese and 1 cup sauce. Top with remaining 6 tortillas, 1 cup chicken, 1/2 cup beans, 1 cup sauce and 1 cup cheese.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly on edges (165°F in center). Let stand 20 minutes before serving. Serve with Toppings, as desired.
• If making ahead to bake and serve at a later date: Line 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with 2 layers of plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to completely enclose assembled casserole. Allow sauce mixture to cool completely, covered, 30 to 45 minutes in refrigerator before assembling casserole. Assemble casserole in dish; cover with another layer of plastic wrap. Freeze unbaked casserole about 8 hours or until completely frozen. Transfer frozen casserole to labeled 2-gallon resealable freezer plastic bag. Remove air; seal and freeze up to three months. To bake: Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Remove plastic wrap from casserole; place in baking dish. Cover tightly with foil; thaw completely in refrigerator, 24 to 48 hours. Heat oven to 350°F. Uncover; bake 45 to 55 minutes or until hot and bubbly on edges (165°F in center). Let stand 20 minutes before serving. Serve with Toppings, as desired.
