SALSA CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Salsa Chicken Casserole image

We seem to always have the items this casserole calls for on hand. I use homemade salsa but use what ever your favorite is to make it tasty! You also don't have to tear the tortillas into pieces, I do this for my kids - to make it easier for them to eat. If you don't drain the salsa it will be too soggy.
