The King Ranch recipe has several variations one of the most common is
substituting tortilla chips for the tortillas.

3 lbs. chicken breasts, or 1 whole
chicken, cooked, reserving one cup broth
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 lg. green pepper, chopped
2 tbsp. margarine
1 tsp. chili powder
Dash garlic salt
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10 oz.) Rotel tomatoes and
green chilies, drained and crushed
1/2 lb. Cheddar cheese, grated
12 corn tortillas, cut into strips

Bone chicken and cut into bite size pieces. Sauté onion and green pepper
in margarine. Combine chili powder, garlic salt, soups, broth and Rotel.
Place 1/2 of chicken in a large casserole; top with 1/2 soup mixture,
tortilla strips, onion and green pepper, then cheese. Repeat layers. Cook
covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake an additional
15 minutes. (*You can also use flour tortillas instead of corn.) Serves 8.
