Thought it was really good. Will make again

mine was watery and the tortillas were soggy what did I do wrong?

Hi there! While the Test Kitchen cannot be sure what exactly went wrong for you, we recommend double checking that you are using the correct size can of diced tomatoes. Thanks!

surprisingly good and will definitely make it again.

My diabetic husband loved this casserole! He told me so about three times how good it was and returned for seconds. He liked the little bit of a kick it has from the green chilis. Not that difficult to prepare, though next time, I won't cut the corn tortillas in 1" pieces, but will cut them a bit larger to save time.
