South Of The Border Chicken Tortilla Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until almost tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Crumble the turkey in a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook and stir until evenly brown; drain. Add onion to browned turkey meat and cook until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, gravy mix and chili powder until combined then mix in the corn and macaroni. Cover; reduce heat to low and simmer, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve on a bed of tortilla chips topped with shredded lettuce and sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 and grease 1 1/2 qrt casserole dish.
• Brown meat and drain.
• Add onion and jalapeno (if using) and cook with meat until tender.
• Stir in tomato sauce and seasonings.
• Layer one-third of meat mixture, cheese and one half of tortillas in casserole dish; repeat layers, ending with cheese.
• Bake at 325 for 20 minutes.
• Note: Corn tortillas will soften and absorb the sauce.
• These are recommended.
• Flour tortillas will expand and the casserole will be too doughy-therefore flour tortillas are not recommended.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine cooked meat, soup, salsa, olives, and cumin. If using diced chiles, add them, too. If whole chiles are used, split open and flatten out to make a layer with later. Put a layer of tortillas, whole or torn, in the bottom of 12-inch Dutch oven. Cover this with half of the meat and soup mixture, and all the whole chiles, if using them. Then add one half the cheese, and another layer of tortillas. Then add the remaining meat mixture and the last of the cheese. Put lid on the Dutch and add briquets to lid until almost covered with one layer of briquets. Don't put more than 3 briquets under the bottom. Cook for about 30 minutes in the summer and about 45 minutes in the winter. If made in a smaller Dutch, cooking time is a little longer as the layers are thicker. Serve with hot salsa.

Steps:

• Blend together sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese.
• Add soup, salt, garlic powder, chilies, chicken, rice, cheeses, tomatoes and black olives (if using).
• Spray a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick spray and pour combined ingredients into pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
