tortillas-- what should I do with them?

I was glancing through facebook, and noticed another blogger saying she had a bunch of tortillas, and needed some recipes. I have several recipes.. so, I am posting them here for all to enjoy.

Chicken Tortilla Casserole

Shredded chicken (I usually just use leftover chicken breast...and depending on how "chicken-y you want it, determines how much chicken you put in).. usually about 1-2 cups

tortillas- I've done this with both whole wheat and regular flour tortillas.. either work nicely! I usually use whatever is in the package I bought.. 8-12. Rip them up in smallish bite size pieces

1-2 cans of cream of chicken soup

shredded cheese (whatever flavor you like, and as much or as little as you like.. we usually use about 1/2 bag to the whole bag)

rip the tortillas into smallish pieces, and put in a baking dish. Mix in the cream of chicken soup mix, and the chicken. You can mix the cheese in, or put it on top.. I usually do a bit of both. Bake about 45 minutes on 350.



chicken and black bean casserole

shredded chicken (same as above)
1 can green chili's
1-2 cans green (or red if you like it spicier) enchilada sauce
2 cans black beans; drained
8-12 tortillas torn into small pieces
shredded cheese of your choice, 1/2 bag -1 bag
sour cream (optional)

rip tortillas into small pieces, and put them in a baking dish. Add green chili's, black beans, and enchilada sauce, and chicken, mix well. top with shredded cheese of choice, and bake for about 45 minutes at 350. serve with sour cream if desired.

tortilla stack bake

(this recipe greatly depends on how much filling you include, and what size your baking dish is...and I will admit.. I don't measure anything!)

4-12 tortiallas
ground beef (can substitute chicken too)
refried beans (can substitute black beans)
enchilada sauce (your choice, but I usually use red for this one)
shredded cheese, your choice
toppings of your choice-- lettuce, tomato, black olives, sour cream, ect.

brown you burger, drain, add refried beans and enchilada sauce. (shred your chicken, cook, mix in black beans and enchilada sauce). cook just long enough to get the refried beans workable..

in a baking dish, layer the following way: tortilla, meat/bean/sauce mixture, a bit of shredded cheese. continue to alternate until you reach the top. bake for about 30- 45 mins 350. serve, and put your toppings of choice on top. (you can put olives, and onions in a separate layer if everyone in the family likes them as well).
