1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, 2 cups of the shredded cheese, salsa, diced green chiles, chopped cilantro, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.

3

Grease a 9x9 inch square baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortillas.

Add another layer of tortillas on top of the chicken mixture.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This helps it set and hold its shape.
