Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Start with cooked chicken breast, shredding or chopping it into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and a pinch of seasoning if desired to add flavor.
  2. Layer tortillas and chicken: In a baking dish, arrange a layer of flour tortillas to cover the bottom completely. Spread half the prepared chicken evenly over the tortillas.
  3. Add plant-based cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded plant-based cheese over the chicken layer to create creamy, melty richness.
  4. Repeat layers and bake: Place another layer of tortillas on top, followed by the remaining chicken and cheese. Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until heated through and bubbling.

Notes

  • Use warm shredded chicken to help the casserole cook evenly and meld the flavors well.
  • Flour tortillas are best for crisping while layering the casserole.
  • Don’t skip the plant-based cheese to maintain moisture and bind layers together.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to set and make slicing easier.
  • Customize seasoning or vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) according to your taste preferences.
