MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE
CASSEROLE
 
1 lb cubed chicken (fresh or frozen)
1 pack of taco seasoning
1/2 lb cubed and grated cheddar cheese
1 package Mexican or Spanish rice (cooked)
1-2 cups of your favorite salsa
1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
1 pack soft tortillas
Sour cream (Served on the side at the table)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare rice according to directions. In a skillet, cook chicken through and add taco seasoning.

Once cooked, combine chicken, rice, corn, salsa, and cubed cheese and heat through. Spray the bottom of a casserole dish with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with tortilla shells.

Spoon half of the chicken and rice mixture on top and spread evenly. Layer more tortilla shells on top, and then the rest of the chicken and rice mixture mixture. Top with remaining tortilla shells.

Place into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Return to oven for another 5 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.

Enjoy!!!

This is a wonderful recipe for gatherings or just for dinner, like today!

It's one of the best all in one meals I've had in quite sometime! Very simple and the taste is amazing. If your family enjoys the Mexican seasonings (just like a taco) they'll love this!

If you like tacos, this is an easy, great tasting casserole!! I halved the amount and used small tortilla wraps (1 on bottom), so it made a smaller, 3 layered casserole in a 2 quart dish. I substituted ground chicken for the meat. And also, on top instead of the last tortilla, I broke up a couple of hard taco shells crumbled on top. Then the last 5 minutes, I added the shredded cheese. (I liked the crunchy topping.) This is both filling and so tasty! (easier to deal with than individual tacos). The sour cream was a nice touch, too. This is an easy casserole to take to a new mother or someone who's shut-in. I loved this easy-to-make, delicious casserole and will make this often.
