Ingredients
- 2 chicken use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken to save time, heaping cups, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning I used medium heat
- 2 cups salsa 16 ounces, divided; chunky medium heat recommended, use less if thinner
- 8 flour tortilla I used flour, or corn tortilla
- 4 Roma tomato chopped
- 2 cups Mexican cheese blend Monterey Jack, cheddar, etc, shredded
- cilantro black olives, green chiles, optional and to taste
- sour cream guacamole, salsa, optional for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees. To a large bowl, add the chicken, Greek yogurt or sour cream, taco seasoning, 1 1/2 cups salsa, and stir to combine; set aside.
- To an 9×9-inch baking pan or similar (I used an 8×11-inch baking dish), add the remaining 1/2 cup salsa and spread evenly.
- Place half the tortillas on top of the salsa in baking pan.
- Top with half of the chicken mixture, half of the tomatoes, half of the cheese, and any optional ingredients.
- Repeat layering process using remaining ingredients (tortillas, chicken mixture, tomatoes, cheese, optional ingredients). Tip – At this point you can wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days before baking.
