Quick Mexicali Chicken Casserole

Filipinos make buko pie, a sweet treat made from buko, a young coconut. The coconut flesh yields an extremely creamy custard because it hasn’t yet solidified.

Yield: 1 casserole

Ingredients

  1. 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  2. 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as RO*TEL® Original), drained
  3. ½ cup sour cream
  4. 2 tablespoons milk
  5. 1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  6. ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  7. 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
  8. 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
  9. 1 cup crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Combine soup, diced tomatoes with chiles, sour cream, milk, taco seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and 1/2 of the cheese. Just before baking in the oven, add crushed tortilla chips and combine evenly. Put in a baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  3. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until hot, bubbly, and cheese is melted, about 40 minutes.
  4. You can use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken, if preferred.
