dewillia's chicken tortilla spinach casserole
It is just me and my husband and I can't cook a small casserole, especially when it calls for a 9 X 13 pan. So when I made this, I took aluminum foil, made it fit into the middle of the pan, and created two portions when I baked it. I pulled it up on the inside so it would not cook together. Then, all you have to do is pick up one side at a time. I carried half of it to my dear friend and her husband. It was good and they loved it. If you do this, you can share it or put the other half in the freezer for another time.

This chicken tortilla spinach casserole is comforting and satisfying. If you use store-bought rotisserie chicken, it can be thrown together in no time. Bell peppers and tomatoes are scattered throughout the casserole for pops of freshness. Canned green chiles add tons of flavor and give the meal a Southwest feel. They're mixed with chicken and chopped corn tortillas to make the filling hearty. Spinach is also prominent and complements the other ingredients. We loved Dewilla's tip on baking this in two portions making it a great recipe if you're cooking for one or two.
