All I can say is yummmm! I cooked this for 'Zaar Day with a Mexican theme and my DH who doesn't even like Mexican loved it! He ate 2 huge servings and kept saying how good it is. Thank you so much for a great addition to my cookbook. Nancy

My sister-in-law gave me this same recipe and it is wonderful. Better for the cooler months and a good comfort food! Reheats well in the microwave for leftovers or a lunch! Husband loves it!

great recipe, not bland at all. i substituted ground turkey in place of the chicken and used a packet of chili powder instead of 1 tbsp. i also substituted 1 can of cream corn in place of the cream of mushroom soup. my family loved it.

Love how easy this is to make. It needed a little more spice for our tastes.. I sauteed the onion with a small can of jalepenos, and 2 garlic cloves. Mixed pepper jack cheese with the cheddar.. and topped the casserole with additional tortillas. Next time, I'll substitute cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom as the mushroom is a little odd with the rest of the Mexican ingredients. But, I WILL be making it again!
