Preparation

Step 1

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2.  Combine the first 7 ingredients (milk thru green chiles) using just 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning. in a large bowl. Stir just until moist. Pour mixture into a round pie plate coated with cooking spray.

3.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. While corn crust is baking, mix the chicken and remaining 1 tablespoon taco seasoning together. When corn crust is done - it will be just barely set and golden brown - pierce entire surface liberally with a fork. Pour enchilada sauce over top. Top with seasoned chicken and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Top with Cotija cheese and cilantro. ENJOY!
