Then, layer the following in the casserole dish -- tortillas (so it covers the entire bottom of the pan), then red sauce (just a thin layer so the torillas don't dry out while cooking), then chicken (doesn't have to be a thick layer because there will be multiple layers), then cheese.
- Repeat all layers until you are out of chicken but be sure to end with tortillas with red sauce on top.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes.

The whole family enjoyed this, which says a lot for 3 picky boys. I used Kirkland brand canned chicken because I'm lazy. Added a can of white chili beans to the chicken mixture as well as a can of diced chilis. I had corn tortillas to use up so used those for the first two layers, then a few flour tortillas to top it off with the Cheddar cheese. I was worried about dry tortillas but the casserole was perfect and delicious. Thanks for sharing, we will be making this again!
