Recipe View Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set slightly, making it easier to slice and serve. (10 minutes)

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup mixture or use hot green chiles.
Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend.
If you don't have leftover turkey, shredded chicken or ground beef also work well in this casserole.
To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet before layering them in the casserole.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
