Tortilla Chip Casserole

Tortilla Chip Casserole
Tortill It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Autumn. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 1 hour. A mixture of 3-less-fat cream cheese, chicken stock, ground cumin, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the kosher salt you could follow this main course with the Low Fat Crumbs Cake (Kosher-Dairy) as a dessert.
