    I have been meaning to make this casserole for quite some time and wish I had gotten around to it sooner...it's wonderful! I had to cook my chicken so that took some extra time but other than that, it came together pretty quickly for me. used a small can of mushrooms instead of fresh because that's what I had. I also used regular Fritos corn chips in place of the tortillas and that worked perfectly. I bumped up the chilli powder to 3/4 of a teaspoon and used a dash of ground smoked jalapeno in addition tot he regular spices listed in the recipe. Served it with sour cream, fresh cilantro and salsa as well as some corn bread and green salad.
