Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your ingredients and baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Mix in shredded chicken and creamy sauce, stirring for 3-5 minutes until heated through and combined.
In a greased baking dish, layer corn tortillas, a portion of the chicken mixture, and cheddar cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese on top.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
