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.

I love chicken tortilla casserole, well anything labeled casserole is fab..yummysweetlifeps, I'm working on my nutella recipe this weekend..
The thing I like is those little dots of extra seasoning you added to the plated dish. It's touches like that which make a difference.
Love chicken tortilla casserole! BTW check out the Minimalist video this week on pancakes, his intro steals from your video you did for the Food buzz contest! http://www.nytimes.com/pages/dining/index.html
Oh yeah now this is my kind of a dish. It not only looks better with chicken than ground beef, it is so much better for you too.
Fantastic casserole..Delicious dinner indeed !
