I have tried a lot of Mexican foods, but Mexican tortilla casserole remains the best one for me; this casserole made with tortillas, cheese, and chicken. one of the tastiest Mexican food you can ever try.
My daughter does not like cheese, but she loves this casserole, and she asks me often to make it for dinner.
This casserole is like a lasagna, but instead of using sheets of pasta, it uses tortillas; it’s a Mexican delight!
