Best Cheesy Chicken Burrito Casserole Recipes
CHICKEN BURRITO CASSEROLE
A wonderful chicken burrito casserole that is simple to make but does not lack flavor. Very flavorful dish that is so easy to prepare and assemble. This is always a hit and never any leftovers (literally)! Great for pot lucks and get togethers. Mexican food is always easy and beautiful once dressed with all the toppings, very colorful. This dish freezes and reheats wonderfully. For easy weeknight preparation either make over the weekend and freeze for whenever you'd like to eat it OR you can do like I do... cook a ton of chicken on the weekend and then use it in various recipes during the week. Variations... you may add other ingredients to the layers that you like such as refried beans, olives, jalapenos, etc. You don't have to use only breast meat when making this recipe. It's great to recycle left over chicken from a BBQ! Note... instead of making in a large casserole dish I make in a deep one so I have more layers.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Take the cooked chicken and tear up/shred and put in a pot.
- Add the can of rotel, package of taco seasoning (along with any water needed per the directions on the seasoning packet) to the chicken and heat through on the stove.
- Spray non-stick spray (such as Pam) on a casserole dish. Then, layer the following in the casserole dish -- tortillas (so it covers the entire bottom of the pan), then red sauce (just a thin layer so the torillas don't dry out while cooking), then chicken (doesn't have to be a thick layer because there will be multiple layers), then cheese.
- Repeat all layers until you are out of chicken but be sure to end with tortillas with red sauce on top.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking dish or casserole dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. I used a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Spread all of the tortillas with the refried beans and cut in half. Using 8 halfs line the bottom of the casserole dish. I like to place the straight edge of tortilla against the sides of the dish and overlap the middle.
- Next take half of the chopped chicken add evenly layer over the tortillas.
- Mix the cooked rice with 1/2 of the salsa and spread over the chicken.
- Add another layer of tortillas, then the rest of the chicken.
- For the last layer, add the rest of the salsa and the rest of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Place in the oven for about 30 minutes until the cheese has browned.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Top with your favorite burrito toppings like sour cream, black olives, guacamole, green onions, jalapenos, etc.
