Cook’s Notes: According to the Dallas Morning News, “the casserole…
is a classic Texas party dish, as ubiquitous as chicken-fried stead. It
combines tortillas, chilies, cheese, tomatoes and onions with the
convenience of canned-soup cooking. No one knows exactly where the dish
originated; the real King Ranch in South Texas disavows any connection.”
