We. Loved. This. Meal. It was originally called a “casserole”, but for those of you who know my hubbs, that word just doesn’t fly in our house! It really doesn’t seem like a casserole either, there is too much order to it. This has tortillas in place of noodles, chicken in place of beef, and mexican flavor in place of italian! It is a perfect way to bring in the fall season...I have to avoid the oven so much during the summer that by the time temperatures are starting to dip A LITTLE, I have dozens of recipes ready to pop in that hot oven! This will be a first this fall, and a long awaited one.
