If you’re looking for chicken casserole ideas or a way to introduce your young eaters to International cuisine, give this Chicken Tortilla Casserole recipe a try. If you love casseroles, don’t miss my Hamburger Casserole, Tater Tot Casserole, Tuna Casserole, or even Green Bean Casserole!Chicken Tortilla Casserole Recipe

Chicken Tortilla Casserole

This chicken tortilla casserole is layered and is extra cheesy, so they won’t suspect a thing!

We like to plate ours like a chicken tortilla casserole pie, making this easy cheesy chicken recipe even more fun for the kiddos and a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The best part?  With this easy chicken casserole recipe, you can even get your kids in the kitchen.  You’ll just need to figure out a way to convince them to do the dishes after!Cheesy Chicken Casserole

Tips for Chicken Tortilla Casserole in a Skillet

Can you make this as a chicken crockpot casserole?

Yes!  I would suggest getting the street taco size tortillas (4 inches) and overlapping them within a layer to create more surface area.  Then, simply follow the directions above but reserve about a cup of cheese until the end.  Cook on low for 2-3 hours and then add the cheese and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.

Do I have to make this chicken casserole recipe in a skillet?

No.  You can cook this recipe in any old pan.  We love the natural seasoning that comes from cooking chicken tortilla casserole in a skillet, but it is not a requirement.

What can I serve with this easy chicken casserole recipe?

As a fun appetizer, I like to pair this meal up with our Bacon, Cheese and Jalapeno Corn dip and some tortilla chips.  It is a fun, easy, and very unique recipe and pairs nicely with the spices in this cheesy chicken tortilla pie.

    Do you think this would work with corn tortillas, either homemade or store bought? I’m in Club Celiac, but this sounds so yummy, I have to try! Thanks!
