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.

Love this recipe! When I have extra veggies laying around I will chop 'em up and throw them in the mix. Today I used ground turkey instead of chicken, added an onion, a bell pepper, a small zucchini, and a few small Klondike potatoes and was thrilled with the results. This recipe is amazing because it is so easy to make (I am certainly not a chef and it is always a crowd pleaser!

Sadly this was not one of my favorites. Followed the recipe exactly but did not like the flavor nor the consistency. Bottom line is it was bland.

I've made this countless times, and it's become a family favorite! I prefer to use salsa verde, and I always add fresh pico de gallo into the mix. Sometimes I place a few pickled jalapeno slices on top. We love it...and it's great leftover!
