A delightful twist on the classic casserole, this dish combines creamy textures with a hint of spice for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter.
Use a paper towel to spread the butter evenly.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; keep the heat moderate.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeno to the saucepan. Sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Pour in the chicken broth, green chiles, and cumin. Stir and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spread a small amount of the sauce mixture in the bottom of the baking dish.
This prevents the tortillas from sticking.
Layer tortillas over the sauce, followed by shredded chicken and a mix of cheeses.
Overlap the tortillas slightly for full coverage.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese.
Press down gently to compact the layers.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top layer.
Ensure the sauce covers the edges to prevent drying.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious casserole.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
