In a 9 x 13" baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray or oil, place 6 tortillas so that they overlap slightly.

Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.
Preheat oven to 375*F. Bake, loosely covered with aluminum foil, until heated through and bubbly, 45-50 minutes.

Pass the sour cream. Serves 10 to 12.

I knew we would love this recipe the minute I saw it, and of course I was not dissappointed. Thanks for the great recipe. I used boneless chicken breast, which had been grilled, then cubed.

I live and work in Western NY with my husband and kids. I work part-time. I love all cookbooks, no particular favorites. I love to cook, collect recipes and cookbooks, trade recipes, read, listen to music, watch movies, spend time with my family. If I won the lottery, I'd spend the rest of my life in Italy cooking, cooking, cooking, and more cooking.
