I love how easy it is to make this Simple Tortilla Casserole! Grab a rotisserie chicken on the way home and you can have this fabulous weeknight dinner ready in no time at all! It is different and delicious! Perfect for any night of the week!
Put as much or as little cheese as you like! We use a Mexican blend of shredded cheese but shredded cheddar works in a pinch! The corn chips make this casserole extra special! The quick chicken and tomato sauce works beautifully every time! We even add vegetables that we need to get rid of! This recipe is a fabulous fridge cleaner!
