Reviews
Added 1/2 can drained black beans, cumin, and replaced tortilla chips with corn tortillas. Baked in an oil-sprayed 9×13 baking pan. Layered warm tortillas, chicken/salsa mixture, and cheese like a lasagna and served with Spanish rice.The diners raved.
Still making this in 2022!! Delicious and different way to use up the Turkey
Great for
Leftover turkey
Leftover turkey
I used ground turkey and it turned out great! We have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Very good. We added some cilantro inside the dish besides the garnish. I will make this again for sure!
I used left over rotissiere chicken. I also did not have enough salsa, but it worked out fine. I did not have any green chiles. I added half a can of black beans and about 8 oz of corn. I also think it’s better with corn tortillas than tortilla chips. I did not have any cilantro or sour cream. I can see how it would be good with sour cream. I put it in a casserole dish and mixed the corn tortillas and some tortilla chips with the rest of the dish and topped it with the cheese. It turned out great! My husband and I loved it! So great that one of my friends that tried it wanted me to send her the recipe! This is definitely one of my new favorite recipes!! 🙂
Great for leftover turkey…I didn’t feel like I was even eating turkey for the 4th time in a week!! Definitely need the extra spices, I used cumin, chili powder, garlic salt, and white pepper along with the salt & pepper. Also recommend adding beans too. I used black beans. Both hubby and I really loved it. Will make again for sure!
Hey this was better than expected.I loved it and I will keep on making this from now on. I’m a 47 yr old bachelor always looking for something new to cook for myself. This was just fantastic. Thanks Sandra lee
This recipe was really good, and I just made a couple tweeks! I used rotisserie chicken, added a can of black beans (rinsed), and a taco-seasoning packet! You gotta do the sour cream at the end, as it really is the icing on the cake (so to speak)!! I did cook it in a casserole dish. This is also a VERY easy thing to make for a potluck dinner! YUM!!
