Ingredients

  • 6-8 small corn tortillas cut into quarters
  • 2 teaspoons Dalkin&Co Taco Seasoning divided
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chipotle salsa
  • 1 pound shredded chicken (from 1-2 rotisserie chickens)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 scallions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the quartered tortillas on the baking sheet and lightly spray with the oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of the Dalkin&Co Taco Seasoning. Transfer to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg until smooth and then add the milk, sour cream, salsa, chicken, remaining Dalkin&Co Taco Seasoning, cream cheese, cilantro, scallions and salt.
  • Arrange half of the tortillas in a medium-large braiser or baking dish. Spread half of the chicken mixture on top of the tortillas, then sprinkle half of the cheese on top. Repeat this for a second layer.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is golden brown. Garnish with scallions and cilantro and serve.
