SPICY SOUTHWEST CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Spicy Southwest Chicken Casserole image

This is a recipe I developed after tweaking many other recipes. It has become a real favorite in my household! Easily adjustable to your preference of spiciness as well. Also easy to change to your liking by adding other veggies or peppers. Save time by cooking extra chicken ahead of time when making other chicken dishes. Serve with your choice of toppings, like sour cream, guacamole, sliced avocados, sliced black olives, or whatever else you like!

This layered tortilla dish is not only delicious, but it's a real timesaver because it's put together the night before. The tomato slices provide a nice touch of color. I like to serve this crowd-pleasing casserole with muffins and fresh fruit. -Barbara Waddel, Lincoln, Nebraska

SOUTHWEST TORTILLA CASSEROLE



Southwest Tortilla Casserole image

This is a twist on a taco casserole. I love to create in the kitchen. I made this last night, and the family loved it, so I thought I would jot it down while it is still fresh in my mind. This does have a kick to it and I would suggest that if you don't like spicy you can modify to your taste. I hope you enjoy as much as we did.
