Excellent recipe for King Ranch Chicken! I chose this one because I had a few flour tortillas to use up. I didn't have enough tortillas to make the last row on top, but it was still really tasty! I also used all mushroom soup because that's what was on hand. I really appreciate Mrs. Jack's intro. Written like she was right there by my side. One of the many reasons why I love Texas so much! Mrs. Jack, thanks for sharing your recipe!
