This was disgusting. I had to trash it and take the bag out to the garbage because the smell was so bad.

I have been making this for years, instead of using a can of cheddar soup, I use sour cream or the new sour cooking cream it makes the soup a little thicker, and if you like it spicy add sliced jalapeno peppers to the middle layer. And better than using a whole chicken, boil 2 pkgs of boneless skinless chicken tenderloins and let cool, and tear into bite sizes and add a cup of the chicken broth to the soup...My version is way better promise...

I used Rotel and omitted cream of mushroom. Also boiled my chicken with cumin in the water. Very good!

This was disappointing. Very soupy. Hard to cut and serve. Lacking in flavor.

This will be my first time using this recipe. Since I don't have any flour tortillas handy, I'm going to use Doritos instead. I believe this is going to turn out well.

HEB sales a cream of jalapeno soup I wonder how it would taste in this. I tried it in a broccoli casserole & it was so good.

I love this recipe, but I did change a few things. First I added a can of tomatoes and green chilies as well as some black beans and a can of Mexican corn. I also add more cheese too it than what is called for. One layer of cheese on top of the chicken/soup mix and then the layer on top of the of the tortillas.

This recipe is also great if you add a small can of chopped green chiles, and omit the tomatoes and cream of mushroom soup and add 8 oz. sour cream. I cut the tortilla's in 1 inch strips and mix with the rest, saving a few to place on top with the cheese. scrumtious any way you fix it!

To cut the sodium you can use sodium free or low sodium soups for a less sodium recipe.

This is almost my recipe, but I add a few things to make it more Tex-Mex. A can of green chili enchilada sauce, a tsp of cumin and few drops of tabasco (to taste).

I don't see any ingredient in this to make it "Mexican" I make basically the same recipe but use Rotel or tomatoes with chilis and Mexican blend cheese,makes all the difference!!

Sounds wonderful. Will definintely give it a try and I'll add corn (as suggested by others) and I'll also add some black beans.

All I can say is WOW! This recipe was super easy and absolutely delicious! My boyfriend absolutely loved it!! I followed the advice of Murray (also in the comments section) and it came out amazingly delicious! I used Ro'Tel tomatoes with green chilies, Jalapeno Velveeta, Tostito rounds instead of tortillas and one can of the sweet corn! AMAZING!! <3
