Chicken Enchilda Casserole

1 can chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup
shredded cheese
green enchilada sauce-divided
tortillas

Pre heat oven to 350

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook until heated through. You want your cheese melted. I used mozzerella & cheddar cheese but cream cheese or a mexican blend would work great also. I only poured a little of the enchilada sauce in with the mixture to give it a little kick but not enough that the kids wouldn't like it.

In a 9x9 pan coated with PAM layer tortillas, than mixture than tortillas. Cover with some more of the enchilada sauce and top w/ shredded cheese.

Put in oven til cheese on top is melted.

* you can add more chicken - I only had one can on hand*

While cheese is melting cook up some beans & rice and make a whole meal out of it. Phill Kendrick and I ate the whole thing so make more for your family if it is more than 3 people... and remember K eats like a little birdie. :o) Hope you guys like it.
