- Mix cheese wiz, both soups, and drained rotel together on a sauce pan and heat up…
- Using a 5qt casserole dish (I use my removable crockpot dish) spray dish with non stick spray and place 2-3 tortillas on the bottom then layer as follows: chicken, soup mix, cheese… top with tortillas and then repeat process… do this til the chicken, soup, and cheese is used up… (usually 3 layers) finish off with tortillas on top… you can now top the casserole with the chicken broth or not… (purpose of the broth is to keep tortillas moist during baking*)
- NOTE* I like mine firm… I leave the broth out… it makes the tortillas firm on top and the whole dish firm..
- Cover with lid or aluminum foil bake 350°F for half hour or til the cheese is melted through…
