Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 c dry casserole sauce mix*
  • 1 c water
  • 1 c chicken broth or beef broth
  • 1 c sour cream
  • 1/2 c diced green chiles or canned tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1-2 c cooked ground beef or chicken
  • 1 T taco seasoning
  • 9 corn tortillas
  • 2 c shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, washed and thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Combine dry casserole sauce mix and water, whisking well. Microwave for 3 minutes and stir; continue microwaving at 1 minute intervals until sauce is thick. (See link in post for recipe for this mix)
  • Add broth, sour cream, and chiles to mixture and combine well.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Combine and warm the cooked beef or chicken and taco seasoning
  • Heat a non stick pan and spray with non stick spray or add a swirl of olive oil. Warm the corn tortillas until very slightly browned.
  • In an 8" square pan or 9" pie plate, build layers of sauce, tortillas, seasoned meat, and cheese. Use 3 tortillas on each of 3 layers, with 2 meat layers between them.
    I like the sauce on the bottom and the top, but you can layer it however you want.
    Add a final topping of cheese and chopped green onions.
  • Cover with foil and heat in oven about 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

Notes

*may substitute 1 can cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup for the casserole sauce mix in the recipe ingredients. Details for the sauce mix on linked recipe.
