Yummy Dinner

I made this enchilada casserole for dinner a couple nights ago ( I like the recipe because it doesn't call for any "cream of...." soups).

 It's been really fun to see Brody trying so many new foods now that he can eat mostly everything we eat. He's had some dinners that I could tell he really liked but I have to say I think this is his favorite so far....he ate every bit and didn't throw any on the floor. ;)

 

So, here's the recipe in case anybody's interested:

 

INGREDIENTS:

12 Corn Tortillas

Fiesta Fajita Seasoning
2 Tbl canola oil
1/3 cup chopped onion ( or half of a medium onion)
3 cups chicken broth

4 T flour

4 T butter
2 4oz cans green chili

16 oz sour cream

1 cup salsa ( I used Joe T's mild)

4 cups chopped chicken meat ( 4 chicken breast)

4- 5 cups grated Colby Jack or Mexican blend cheese

 

1.Sprinkle chicken generously with Fiesta Fajita seasoning (Or Fiesta Chicken Fajita Seasoning)

2.Bake chicken until breast are cooked thoroughly.

3.Sauté onions in canola oil for 2-3 minutes – just enough to soften . Remove onions from pan and make sauce.

4.Sauce: Melt butter over medium heat, add flour stirring constantly till smooth, cook about 2-3 minutes or till lightly browned. Slowly add chicken broth, stirring continuously. Broth will thicken making a nice sauce.

5.Turn off burner and add chili’s, onion and sour cream.

6.Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom layer of a 9x 13 pan.
7. Reserve one cup of sauce.

8. Add your chopped chicken to the sauce mixture.

9.Make a single layer of tortillas on top of sauce by folding and tearing tortillas to fit into pan ( usually takes about 4).

10. Add a layer of meat sauce

11. then 2 cups of cheese.

12.Another layer of tortillas

13. Remaining meat sauce & 1 cup of cheese

14. Third layer of tortillas

15.For the top layer of sauce mix the one cup of reserved sauce with one cup of salsa. Spread on top .

16. Top with about 2 cups of cheese. Garnish with green onions, sliced olives, or cilantro.

17.Bake at 375 for 35- 40 minutes . Until golden and bubbly.
