Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 12 ounces cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup sour cream (regular or low-fat)
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (regular or low-fat), divided
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar (regular or low-fat), divided
- 1/2 cup mild, medium or hot salsa
- 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 6 wedges
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat an 11 by 7-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, sour cream, 3/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, 3/4 cup of the Cheddar, salsa, chiles, cilantro, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Arrange half of the tortilla pieces in the bottom of prepared pan, overlapping pieces slightly to cover the surface. Top with half of the chicken mixture and smooth over with the back of a spoon to even the top. Layer remaining tortillas over top, and spoon over remaining chicken mixture. Top with remaining 1/4 cup each of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 more minutes, until top is golden and bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
To reheat, bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 15 minutes.

Quick, easy, and delicious. I added green/red/jalapeno peppers to the chicken mixture as well as a can of jalapeno salsa. I also added the salsa to the layers before the chicken mixture and cheese. My husband loved this and he is not easy to please.

Very easy and delicious. I started the layers with a little bit of the salsa. I added a layer of refried beans. I ripped the flour tortilla's to layer them. I used rotisserie chicken, to save the time of cooking the chicken....I held off a bit of the green chilies - the spice was perfect and very flavorful. My guests wanted to take the leftovers home with them!!!

This recipe was delicious!! When we made it we added refried beans into the mix when baked. We also garnished the lasagna with tomatoes, green onions, and avocado. Turned out amazing! Add more salsa and/or hot sauce for taste
