How to Make Chicken Tortilla Casserole in a Slow Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
This Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Casserole is not only a crowd pleaser, but extremely easy to throw together. You can easily prepare it after work or the night before. Depending on when you need dinner on the table, you can cRock this recipe on low for two hours or high for one hour.
You do not rinse the beans or tomatoes in this recipe. So the flavors of the salsa, beans, tomatoes, chiles, cilantro and lime all blend together to give you a delicious meal with yummy melted cheese!
If you want to make this recipe even easier, you could use leftover chicken. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs in this recipe, but that is just because we love dark meat in our house. If you prefer white meat, feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
We loved this with chips crunched up in it. We are thinking of using some of the leftovers in a tortilla. I bet it would be good with some taco or Spanish rice as well! Let me know in the comments below all the different ways you guys are serving this up!

The recipe calls for 2 cups of cheese, divided, but the directions only use one. When is the 2nd cup added? The recipe looks great and i do wish to try it. Thanks.Reply

Hi Nancy!I tried cooking the chicken in the crock pot, but the juices from the chicken made it too soupy.
