Notes
- Recipe Tips
- Prep ahead of time. Assemble as directed but do not bake. Instead, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or wrap again with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge if needed, and bake as directed.
- Store leftovers covered or divided into airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw if needed and reheat large portions in the oven or smaller portions in the microwave.

- Use the sour cream that comes in a squeeze tube. It makes it so much easier!
- Make a large batch of shredded chicken and store it in the freezer to use in recipes like this.
- For the best results freshly shredded cheese melts the best, avoid pre-shredded cheese.
- Using stale or toasted tortillas and keeping them off the bottom of the baking dish will help keep them from getting oversaturated and soggy.
