If you like it hot, add some chopped Jalapeno or Serrano chiles and sauté along with the onions.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 corn tortillas, homemade or purchased
  • oil
  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken meat (reserve stock)
  • 8 to 16 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Green chile sauce (recipe follows)
  • Sour cream

PREPARATION:

1. Make green chile sauce

2. Put about 1/2" of oil in small skillet. Dip tortillas in hot oil for just a couple of seconds until softened. Place on paper towels in layers until cool enough to handle. With kitchen scissors or knife, stack 4 and cut in quarters.
LOWFAT ALTERNATIVE: Microwave tortillas in a stack in a damp paper towel or dish towel until softened, about 1 minute.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a large baking dish with Pam. Place one layer of tortillas in the dish which has a thin layer of sauce spread in it. Top with /3 of chicken meat and 1/3 of cheese. Spread 1/3 of sauce over it. Repeat to make 2nd and third layers. Sprinkle some cheese on top of sauce, if desired.

4. Bake for 25-35 minutes until heated through and bubbly.

Green Chile Sauce: Sauté chopped onion and garlic in 1/3 cup of oil until transparent. Add 1/3 cup of flour and stir until heated through. Add 3 cups chicken stock and stir until thickened. Stir in 1 cup regular or lowfat sour cream and 2 (4 oz.) cans of chopped green chiles. Add salt to taste, a little more than you like, as it dissipates into the tortillas.
