And this Fcom folks... is how to make King Ranch Chicken! Forget about all of the fancy versions out there. This is the real deal. Probably my favorite casserole EVER!

I always use the soft version since the directions say to "tear" not "break". I also don't waste my time "tearing" all the tortillas, I just cut them in to 8ths and go about the casserole construction. Tearing each individual tortilla makes no sense to me in a casserole like this.

This is the best & easiest recipe out there. I do cut down on onions & green pepper but add a small can of diced green chilies. I also soften my corn tortillas in warm chicken broth.
