4 Quick Tips:

Use Rotisserie Chicken for Speed 🕒

Save time by using store-bought rotisserie chicken—it's flavorful, tender, and perfect for shredding.

Warm Tortillas First 🌯

Slightly warm the tortillas in the microwave or skillet to prevent tearing when layering and to help them absorb the sauce better.

Make It Ahead ⏳

Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Just pop it in the oven when you're ready to bake for an easy dinner.

Customize the Heat 🌶️

Prefer it spicier? Add a dash of cayenne or mix in some chopped jalapeños with the filling.
