• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Actually, It looks pretty tasteful!

Ah, the next Jamie Oliver. I can't see how well done the chicken breasts are from that picture. Hopefully, there's a lot of veggies in there for a balanced meal.

Looks delisious. I will try cooking it sometime.

OK just made a variation with Taco Meat that is Way Better!

Replace Chicken with a pound of taco meat. 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup, 2 cans Green Chiles and Habaneros (the Hot Rotel). Do everything the same way except use more Corn Tortillas or optionally Replace with Flour or Wheat Tortillas or Chips for the Layers. Or if you are are feeling Awesome Fry Corn Tortillas to Chips as the Layers. Freaking Awesome Stuff!!!

I tried to get a picture but it got ate too quick

Taco meat... I doubt they sell it in my country.

Taco meat isn't anything in specific. It's simple meat (I forgot what kind in specific), just cut up into pieces with a cleaver.

Ground beef

 

[The Helper]

Taco Meat is Ground Beef mixed with Taco Seasoning and water then boiled for a few minutes to soak all the Taco goodness into it.

All cans are around 10 oz. You dont have to be exact. I am doing the proper recipe now by editing the original post.

 

[sqrage]

Awesome. Thanks, I'm gonna make this probably this week and I'll let you know how much I loved it.

 

[The Helper]

There are multiple variations on this recipe. I am going to use this as a base and find out which one is actually the best King Ranch!
