This hearty Chicken Tortilla Casserole transforms simple ingredients into a comforting Mexican-inspired meal that's perfect for feeding a family. Tender chicken pieces mingle with corn tortilla strips in a creamy, mildly spiced sauce featuring green chili salsa and melted cheddar cheese. The overnight refrigeration is key – allowing the tortillas to soak up flavors and create the perfect texture when baked. This make-ahead wonder emerges from the oven bubbling and golden, ready to satisfy hungry appetites with minimal day-of effort.
