Tortilla Chip Casserole

Absolutely amazing! I made it just as the recipe recommended, except I did not have coriander. Next time I make it, and there absolutely will be a next time, I will use the full can of black beans. I really can't imagine why it didn't call for that in the first place. The casserole is deliciously creamy and flavorful. A must try! Made it a second time with the coriander. I think it's better without. The coriander gives it an earthy taste I didn't love.

I don't usually follow recipes exactly but I did pretty close this time. My family loves the flavor of this dish. We'll definitely make this a regular dinner at our house.

Although there's some prep to getting all the ingredients together it's still a very easy recipe. I didn't really measure except for the milk and it worked well. I added jalapeños to give it a bit of kick. Also didn't have enough salsa verde so I added regular salsa too.

Meh, I found it to be good, but not super flavorful. I used green enchilada sauce because it seemed healthier, but maybe I'll try red next time.

Hubby said this is a keeper!!

This was excellent. Like the other reviewers suggested I shredded the chicken. Otherwise I didn't change anything and it was delicious! My 6 yr old ate it and the leftovers warmed up great! I would suggest prepping ahead if preparing for a week night meal.

I actually thought this looked great when it came out of the oven -- all that cheese, plus the sauce made it look like enchiladas -- but it tasted kinda bland. I would experiment with more ingredients, in addition to the black beans. Although I admit I did not add the bell pepper.

Not only did my husband and I really enjoy this, but my ten year old son had three helpings at dinner and then some more for his pre bedtime snack! I did very little in the way of improvising....put a couple more tablespoons of cream cheese and i mixed the chicken into the cream sauce to make assembly easier. I roasted my pepper in a small cast iron skillet on the stove and it was great. Served with some fresh cilantro at the table and jalapenos....HUGE hit! This will be a regular meal from now on!

I made the chicken and wild rice version of this recipe. My family LOVED it; we've all been sick, but are sick of soup. This was like chicken and wild rice soup but in a casserole instead of soup. It was hearty and delicious and will DEFINITELY go into regular rotation in my house! I think next time I'll use carrot medallions, and I'll add artichoke hearts as well, and up the liquid to make the sauce thinner and the mixture a little more moist. I cut the breadcrumbs back to 1c, but I think next time I'll try the homemade baked onion topping I like instead. It was good as it is, but I think it can be seriously outstanding with a handful of tweaks.

Made this for dinner tonight, following the recipe. As my 12 year old said, it didn't look appetizing, but tasted surprisingly good. Easy to prepare and assemble. It was a little more saucy than we like, so next time I will probably use all the black beans. Also, the tortilla chips lost all of their crunch; my family didn't know there were any in there until I told them. Next time I would probably put the second layer on top, or maybe substitute lower-fat tortilla pieces instead. Good recipe for a family dinner; not sure if I would serve to company just because it doesn't look all that appetizing on the plate. I will be trying the Poppyseed variation next.

Great recipe! It will be replacing two other Cooking Light Mexican casserole recipes as it is also great left over. I added a minced jalapeno and shredded the chicken based on others comments. I used red sauce as it was all I had. I’ll be replacing the flour with corn starch for my gluten free friends at an upcoming dinner party.

Made this tonight for dinner. I didn't make any changes and thought it was excellent!

Really solid casserole. Was able to easily double the recipe (who only uses half a can of beans & half a stick of cream cheese?) while keeping the original amount of chicken with good results in a 13 x 9 baking dish. I made the cream cheese sauce ahead of time & had to thin it out a bit with water because it set up a bit too much to spread evenly. Great make-ahead for boxed lunches - was better the 2nd day!

So good! Even my 2 year old gobbled it down!

1/27/13 yummy. Filling. Got layers out of order but still worked out fine. Was worried the chips would be soggy, but were fine. Added extra garlic as usual.

I made this for dinner tonight and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I made a few small modifications - almond milk instead of 2%, yellow pepper instead of red, chicken broth instead of stock, about half the garlic and cheddar cheese instead of the mix. I will definitely make again. The only changes I might make is to shred the chicken instead of chopping and cut down the garlic a little more. Great comfort food for a winter's evening.

I've made this twice, the first time without coriander and both times using red enchilada sauce and love it! I honestly didn't really notice a difference with the coriander. I'll use a whole can of black beans next time per other recommendations.

the only thing I changed was that I used the whole can of black beans otherwise followed the recipe exactly

So I am a foodie who is trying to eat healthier... That being said, of my new lighter recipes this is easily one of my favorites! I make a few changes like using a red enchilada sauce, more garlic, double the black beans, and a little less cheese and it is AMAZING!!! So glad I found this recipe!

My family liked this a lot! I did improvise a bit: I seasoned and roughly shredded the chicken, then added fresh cilantro and mixed in the peppers with the chicken to make things a little easier. I am happy that I added the additional seasoning to the chicken. We ate broccoli with it...next time, I might cook it into the casserole, too.

Loved this! Great comfort food casserole. Giving it 5 stars if you add lots of cilantro, and increase the white sauce by at least 1/4. Yummy!

I'm giving this 3 stars because it is great but not something I would serve to company. The flavors went together well without being overpowering. I used Wegmans salsa Verde and added cilantro. A bit runny so less stock/milk next time.

This casserole is awesome. The taste is fresh and flavorful. The milk sauce set up fast and was a bit thick. Will add more stock next time. I ate the leftover for lunch. Still yummy! Will be making this recipe again soon. A definite keeper! :-)
