I made this the last 2 nights, it is that good. Even my husband's buddy, who is here from Phoenix working with my hubby, loved it.

GREEN "ENCHILADA" CHICKEN CASSEROLE

4 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey
2 teaspoons Seasoning for Tacos
8 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon minced chives, optional
7 ounce can Green Mexican Salsa
4 ounce can chopped green chiles
6 ounces Monterey jack cheese, shredded
4 green onions, chopped

Grease an 11x7" baking pan. Put the chicken in the pan and toss with the taco seasoning to coat. Soften the cream cheese and whisk well with the chives and green sauce in a medium bowl. Stir in the chiles. Pour the sauce evenly over chicken. You can mix it in if you like, but it's not necessary. Top with the cheese. Bake at 350º 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the green onions.

Mmmmm, this is similar to my MILs recipe (except w/out the tortilla) and its real good.  I bet this one is awesome too.  I need to try making these when I get a little further down the line.  :)
