Chicken tortilla casserole

My stepmom has been making this casserole for years.  It's my brother Chris' favorite!  When we were growing up, she'd ask my brother what he wanted for his birthday dinners, and it was always "chicken tortilla casserole, please!"  It's definitely not low-fat or gourmet foodie.  It's comfort food, though!  My brother was telling Soyla about it last week, and she asked me for the recipe, so I thought I'd share it with my blog community, too. 

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut up

1 can diced green chilis

1 small onion, diced

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

10 corn tortillas

sour cream

salsa



Directions:


1.  Brown chicken, set aside.
2.  Saute onions in butter until transparent.
3.  Mix soup, sour cream, milk and spices.
4.  Starting with corn tortillas, layer ingredients (tortillas, soup mixture, chicken, onions, chilies, then cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese) in a 2 qt size casserole dish .
5.  Bake at 350 oven for 45 minutes.
6.  Serve with salsa and sour cream.
