  • 13

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. oil
  • 10 corn tortillas, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • Optional: salt to taste
  • 1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 c. cooked chicken, shredded
  • 28-oz. can mild chile verde sauce, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, until hot. Cook tortilla strips, a few at a time, just until crispy. Drain tortilla strips on paper towels; sprinkle with salt, if desired.

Mix cheeses in a bowl; set aside. Spray a 13"x9" baking pan with non-stick vegetable spray. Layer half of the tortilla strips in pan; top with chicken, one cup sauce and one cup cheese mixture. Press layers gently down into pan. Repeat layering with remaining tortilla strips, sauce and cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
