For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained black beans or corn to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a milder flavor, use mild green chiles instead of the regular ones. To prevent the corn chips from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast them in the oven before crushing them. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
02
Step
2 mins
Spread the crushed corn chips evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing gently to create a base.
03
Step
7 mins
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (6-7 minutes).
04
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes (with their juice), cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chopped green chiles, milk, sour cream, chili powder, and ground cumin. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Add the cooked chicken and sautéed onion to the bowl and mix until well combined.
05
Step
2 mins
Pour the chicken and sauce mixture evenly over the corn chip base in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese generously over the top.
06
Step
1 hrs
Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned (55-60 minutes).
07
Step
10 mins
Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set slightly and makes it easier to serve.
