Tortilla Casserole

This recipe was AMAZING.  I started with high expectations (tortilla casserole, hello)  and I had some doubts that it would be worth it at about the time I was trying to peel the chicken off the pan (why you stick to pan, chicken?) but in the end, WOW.  Bonus - no canned soups!  Or cream of X as one of my friends would call it.  Maybe she stills calls it cream of X.  We haven't talked about canned soups in many years.  

I completely forgot to take pictures.  Well, that's not entirely true.  I forgot about taking pictures until I served it, at which point I looked at the pile of goopy, lumpy, mostly brown looking mush, and I knew that no picture I could take at that point would do it justice.   

But, because blogs need pictures, I found some on the internet, just for you.

You see the challenge.  

The only question left is what to do with most of a can of chiles in adobo sauce?  Look out - that stuff is HOT!

What: Tortilla Casserole
Results: Yummy!

    I do still call it Cream of X! But I refrain from cooking with it. :)

      Thanks! I've noticed that America's Test Kitchen uses the chiles in adobo sauce a lot, especially in the slow cooker recipes, but never more than one or two.
