Grayce's Chicken Tortilla Casserole

Grayce, a good friend of ours, made this recently for a tailgate party. Everyone loves it, and it's a great make-ahead dish.

12 corn tortillas, quartered

1 4 oz.can Ortega green chilis, diced and seeded

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 medium onion, chopped fine

3/4 to 1 cup whole milk

3/4# to 1 # grated sharp cheese

Prepare the chicken by seasoning with garlic, chili powder, cumin, and any other desired spices. Cook until tender, cool and dice in aprox. 1" cubes.

Grease 13 x9 baking dish; mix soup,onion,milk and green chili's. If you like things spicy add a little of the above mentioned spices, or your own preferences, to the sauce mix.   Layer tortillas, chicken, sauce and cheese in casserole. Leave some cheese for the top. Cover with foil, bake at 325 degrees for one hour. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer or until cheese bubbles (use instant thermometer to check temperature).
