Preparation

Step 1

Ready to go in 10 minutes.

Then dump all of your ingredients into a large mixing bowl

Stir that all up until well combined –

It’s not like the world is gonna end if we don’t stir it just right.

Now take one of your tortillas and tear it into small pieces and add that to the bowl also.

Now stir it up again.

Place a tortilla in a microwave safe pie plate.

Spoon your mixture into it.

Place chicken, sour cream, half of cheese, half of onions, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, and chopped cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Tear one tortilla into small pieces and add to bowl, stirring again until well incorporated.

Line a pie plate with remaining tortilla and spoon mixture into it. Place in microwave for five minutes.* Remove and top with remaining onions and cheese. Microwave for one minute more, or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!

*Note: Microwave ovens vary widely in temperature so you may need to alter the cooking time to suit your microwave. Since the chicken is fully cooked, there isn't a danger of undercooking this meal so you can just go with these guidelines and give or take a minute or so if you feel it needs it. This is a VERY flavorful casserole and leftovers heat up really well.
