Ranch Casserole

[dpote]

This is a quick one to make when the scrumble of the day has caught up with you, and you are out of time to make something. I serve it with some beans and a rice dish for sides.

2 10 ounce cans Hormel chicken, drained
1 Can Rotel
1/2 Tsp fajita seasoning
2 Scallions, cut up
10 Corn tortillas
Green chili enchilada sauce
Colby Jack cheese, shredded

Spray a hot pan with PAM
Add chicken, Rotel, fajita seasoning
Fry that up and get it hot
In another pan, get about 1/2 inch of oil hot
When the oil is hot, lightly fry the tortillas
Keep them soft and pliable, just cook the raw off of them
Cover the bottom of a baking dish with a little enchilada sauce
Line the bottom of the dish with six cooked tortillas
Put the chicken on top of the tortillas
Add 1/2 of the scallions and the rest of the sauce
Cover with the remaining tortillas, onion, and add as much cheese as you like

Bake in a 350 oven until browned on top

Quick and simple. Looking good.

I saw this and it "caught my fancy." Wasn't sure what was for supper, showed it to the wife and she said it looked good. Went to the store and picked up onions, Rotel, and corn tortillas. I was head cook and bottle washer at a small Mexican restaurant when I was 14. Very familiar with softening the tortillas, as we did that for our enchiladas. Only question that I have is, what size cans of the chicken are you talking about? The 3.5 oz. or the large can. I put a large can, 12.5 oz, from Sam's Club in, thinking 3/4 lb of chicken should be sufficient. Anyway, it came out good and both my wife and I were pleased with it--very tasty. We did chop cilantro and use that as a garnish, as we both love cilantro.

I should have said I use the 10oz cans. Thanks for the heads up, and glad you liked it.

Sounds good .

It reminds me of the various recipes for 'King Ranch Casserole'.
I do have a little bit of a hard time with canned chicken though.

I can deal with canned tuna fish, and ham, but putting chicken in a can is just wrong.

We had "round 2" tonight. Really good with purple hull peas and green beans. Purples hulls seasoned with Tasso. Woof! Kinda great. Canned chicken may not be to one's liking, but being who I am, I don't care. The fact I have something to eat is a blessing to me. Thank you, Lord, for my meal. Eaten a lot of meals that didn't set real good, just thanks for having something to go down the pie hole, as Gunny would say.

You can shred a rotisserie chicken. I came up with this because I was rotating my food pantry, and replacing older with newer.
