Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450

Sautee chopped onion and shredded chicken along with 1 tbsp chicken drippings from cooking chicken (or you could use oil) in large frying pan. In smaller sauce pan I heat 1 cup salsa and 1 cup chicken liquid (or broth) slowly to a boil. Then reduce heat and let simmer until ready to use.

Meanwhile drain and rinse the beans/corn. Mix these in with the chicken and onions when the onions are tender.

Put about half of tortilla strips along bottom of lightly greased (I use spray) 9×13 casserole. Layer half chicken mix with half cheese. Repeat with remaining tortilla strips, chicken mix, and cheese. Pour liquid (salsa/broth) evenly over top.

Bake in oven for apx. 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Serve this with sour cream.
