Either way, I found a recipe for which I had all the ingredients WITHOUT going to the store.
I must admit I have made this recipe a gazillion times - it's truly an old standby in our house, but a worthy favorite. It's relatively quick, easy, feeds a crowd, but is yummy. IMHO. Check out the recipe for Nana's (INHO).
Changes I made? Corn tortillas - mixed opinions in our house. Some like corn, others flour. I do like to pour a bit of sauce on the bottom of the pan before adding the first layer though, as sometimes I've had the bottom layer tough. I have never let it "marinate" overnight and omitted this step again.....so perhaps that is my real problem with the bottom layer? Whatcha think, Kimber? No doubt the kitty wanted some........

*Swift Whole Canned Chicken can be used as a shortcut
Hey mom. I made these with fish (halibut) once and they were super yummy. I substituted the cream of mushroom soup with cream cheese and added black olives. :)
