Crockery Pot Chicken Tortilla

From the Kitchen of:  Happy

I often strain the chicken broth, thicken 2 or 3 cups and use instead of soup. You can also add jalapeno's if you like it hotter. I also use more cheese. I copied this from a note card Mom wrote me (she's 90). It is a yummy recipe.

    1fryer, cooked boned, and cut up bite size
    2canscream of chicken soup
    1cantomatoes with chilies (Rotel)
    2tbsp.quick tapioca
    6-8corn tortillas
    1onion, chopped
    2cupsgrated cheddar cheese
Mix soup, tomatoes and tapioca. Add chicken. Tear tortillas into pieces.
Spray crockpot or casserole with Pam spray.
Layer starting with tortillas, then chicken mix, onion, cheese. Repeat twice, the top is cheese.
Cook in crockpot 6-8 hours on low or 3 on high. For casserole bake 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
