Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

- Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy your Chicken Tortilla Spinach Casserole!
