i am gonna have to do this in the next week or so to get us ready for baby...i am making a lasagna, soups, and a chicken enchillada...my mom is gonna come by once a week and make a big meal for us and my sisters will also drop things off so i think we are pretty covered.

 

here is one recipe:

 

Quote:
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.

i've also made them with canned soup that is a little faster...

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

 

4-6 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded

1 family size can cream of chicken soup

1 or 2 small cans of diced green chiles (undrained)

flour tortillas

4 cups grated cheese (~1 lb) - i like jack cheese

Combine chicken, soup and chiles. For a quicker finish, heat the filling. If you are assembling this the night before, no need to heat now.

In a greased 9x13, layer:

 

tortillas (I use small ones cut in half to cover the pan neatly and symetrically)

1/2 of chicken filling

1/2 of cheese

repeat

to make it prettier, sprinkle with paprika

Heat thoroughly, cool slightly to firm up, and serve.
