    This is a favorite in our house, except I used rotel instead of the enchilada sauce.

  2. Michael Rossi says:

    What do you think about adding a can of refied beans to this recipe?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I don’t see why not!

  3. Michael says:

    What kind of cook time if I use a rotisserie chicken?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      About 2 hours before adding the chips.

    I made this recipe tonight. I used tortilla chips and cheddar cheese, since I didn’t have Doritos or Monterrey Jack cheese. It was delicious! Definitely a keeper.
