Question

I need the history on the mexican dish Chicken Tortilla Casserole?

Answer 1

she needs the history, not the recipe you illiterate dumbass, but seriously, its called "google"

Answer 2

The closest actual Mexican dish would be Pastel Azteca or pastel de pobre. Mexicans do not use the word casserole, which is wholly American. I think it is not a Mexican dish at all. Sounds more like something someone in the American Southwest adapted it from a Mexican recipe and Americanized it.

You could try to contact the cook featured in the link provided.

Answer 3

Although it uses mexican style ingredients, it's actually not Mexican.  It is American Tex-Mex.  Another name for this casserole is "King Ranch Casserole".  It may have originated in Texas.  There's no record of who "invented" it.

Someone wrote this explanation:

"The name comes from one of the largest working ranches in the US today. King Ranch is located in South Texas (between Corpus Christi and Brownsville) and covers over 852,000 acres. Here in South Texas, King Ranch is such a big part of our culture, that there are even special edition King Ranch Ford trucks. The recipe is indicative of the Tex-Mex food which is a staple in this part of the country."
