So many great reviews?? Way too many tortillas and not enough filling. I know the quantity of tortillas are to absorb the liquid but they should call this Corn Tortilla Casserole. To make it more stars IMHO, eliminate the broth, halve the tortillas, up the amount of chicken and cheese (yes, the calories go up) and add drained Rotel, drained black beans, maybe corn, cilantro... More cumin, maybe some chili powder. Also, it took 45 minutes in the oven to get it bubbly and then I let it sit for 15 minutes so it wasn't so runny-yes runny, and yes, I followed the recipe.
