Mexican Lasagna

Cooking Spray
12 ounces cooked chicken, (cut into cubes about 3 cups or I use a can of shredded chicken from costco)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheese, divided
1/2 cup salsa
1 (4oz) can chopped green chiles
2 Tbls chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1 tsp ground chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
8 (6inch) corn tortillas, cut into wedges

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Coat 11x7 baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine chicken, sour cream, 3/4 cup of cheese, salsa, chiles, cilantro, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Arrange 1/2 of the tortilla pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan, overlapping pieces slightly to cover the surface. Top with 1/2 of the chicken mixture and smooth over with back of a spoon to even the top. Layer remaining tortillas over top, spoon over remaining chicken mixture. Top with remaining cheese.

Cover and bake for 30 mins. Uncover and bake 30 minutes more until top is golden & bubbly.

I usually make some mexican/spanish rice and serve it with chopped lettuce and sour cream on top. Even my girls will eat this.
