Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.

Stir in flour and taco seasoning mix; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually beat in milk with whisk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; beat in Kraft™ Velveeta™ cheese and 2 cups of the Cheddar cheese with whisk until melted. Reserve 3/4 cup of the sauce.
  • To remaining sauce, add chicken and green chiles.
  • Spread reserved 3/4 cup sauce in baking dish. Top with 3 noodles. Spread 2 1/4 cups of the chicken mixture over noodles. Repeat 3 more times. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese over top of chicken mixture. Cover with foil; bake 20 minutes.
  • Remove foil; sprinkle with tortilla chips. Bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until bubbly and hot in center. Top with green onions. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
