1/2-3/4 cups homemade chicken broth
7 (6 inch) corn tortillas or 3-4 golden blend tortillas
2 cups shredded Colby & Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided

- Place 1-2 tortillas over bottom of your deep dish baker. Cut other tortillas to fill any gaps as layers are assembled.

- Repeat layers.

NOTE: Golden Blend tortillas work well also. If you’re unfamiliar with them, they are half corn, half flour giving them a wonderful flavor and texture that is not as doughy as flour or as stiff as corn.
