CHICKEN BURRITO CASSEROLE
A wonderful chicken burrito casserole that is simple to make but does not lack flavor. Very flavorful dish that is so easy to prepare and assemble. This is always a hit and never any leftovers (literally)! Great for pot lucks and get togethers. Mexican food is always easy and beautiful once dressed with all the toppings, very colorful. This dish freezes and reheats wonderfully. For easy weeknight preparation either make over the weekend and freeze for whenever you'd like to eat it OR you can do like I do... cook a ton of chicken on the weekend and then use it in various recipes during the week. Variations... you may add other ingredients to the layers that you like such as refried beans, olives, jalapenos, etc. You don't have to use only breast meat when making this recipe. It's great to recycle left over chicken from a BBQ! Note... instead of making in a large casserole dish I make in a deep one so I have more layers.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Take the cooked chicken and tear up/shred and put in a pot.
- Add the can of rotel, package of taco seasoning (along with any water needed per the directions on the seasoning packet) to the chicken and heat through on the stove.

- Repeat all layers until you are out of chicken but be sure to end with tortillas with red sauce on top.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes.

This is a riff on a recipe I'd been wanting to try for a long time, but the seasonings and proportions didn't quite fit our taste. So I added a little bling in the form of chile seasonings, oregano and more garlic. And perhaps more cheese.
