Crunchy, crispy corn tortillas are layered with shredded chicken, red onion, cheese and a creamy green chile sauce then baked until hot and bubbly to make these deliciously satisfying baked nachos. Nachos in a casserole.
I love how the tortillas are part crunchy, part soft, along with the the little zing from the green chiles mingled with the smokiness of the spices.
It’s a snack, a dinner, a brunch, appetizer… it can be anything, anytime!
Casseroles are notoriously versatile and this one is no different. Black beans, corn, salsa, tomatoes, olives; whatever your little heart desires can be layered in here.
As for me, I like it as is, with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of green onions over top.

Hi Reeni. I made this for dinner tonight, and I just wanted to let you know we all loved it. I made your homemade tortilla chips to go in it. It was a huge hit with my picky family which believe me is hard to do. I am so excited because there is some leftover for me to eat for lunch tomorrow:) Thanks again for another great dinner.
