My college roommate and I came up with this one years ago, and it is still a hit today. The family will love it, and it is great for left-overs the next day. Serve with some spanish rice or refried beans. YUMMY! Ingredients:
1 package flour tortilla, burrito size |
4 boneless chicken breasts |
1 package shredded mexican blend cheese |
3/4 cup chicken broth |
1 cup salsa |
1/2 onion, chopped |
1 package chicken taco seasoning mix |
vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Tear tortillas (1 or 2 at a time) into small, bite-sized pieces and lightly fry them in a small amount of oil.
2. Cook until light brown and slightly crispy (If they aren't cooked enough you will end up with a mushy end product).
3. Set aside to dry on some paper towels.
4. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and cook in small amount of oil along with the onion, sprinkle the seasoning mix over as they cook.
5. Set aside.
6. In a 13x9 baking dish layer tortillas, then chicken, then salsa, finishing with a layer of tortillas.
7. Pour chicken broth over entire casserole.
8. Finish with a layer of shredded cheese.
9. Cover with tin foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
