  • Add broth: Then, add chicken broth and simmer until the liquid thickens (about 15 minutes).
  • Crush tortilla chips: Meanwhile, place the tortilla chips in a sealed bag and gently crush them into smaller bite-sized pieces.
  • Assemble the casserole: Spray a 9" x 13" pan with cooking spray and then layer chips, taco meat, and cheese in the pan followed by another layer in that same order. Once the meat cools, at this point you can freeze the casserole and bake it later. When you're ready to bake it, be sure to thaw it in the fridge first.
