Carol's King Ranch Casserole

SUBMITTED BY: Carol Atwater  PHOTO BY: Scotdog Supporting Member (Click to learn more about Supporting Membership)

"Layers of boiled chicken, a creamy soup mixture with red bell pepper, diced tomatoes and green chile peppers and flour tortillas are covered with shredded cheese and baked. Tex-Mex at its best! There are several versions of this, but this is my own rendition. One of my family's favorite meals."
