Chicken Chilaqquiles(Chicken and Corn Tortilla Casserole)

Recipe : Chicken Chilaqquiles(Chicken and Corn Tortilla Casserole)
Procedure :

1/2 c butter

1 1/2 c onions -- chopped

2 10 oz. cans tomatoes & chiles (Ro-Tel)

1 28 oz. can tomatoes -- chopped

2 lbs Velveeta Cheese or Monterey and -- diced

Cheddar grated coarsley) 2 c cooked chicken -- chopped

2 c sour cream

15 stale corn tortillas -- broken into small pi

(or 15 fresh tortillas fried until crisp)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

In a large skillet, saute onions in butter. Drain all tomatoes and reserve juice. To the onions, add the drained tomatoes and chiles, tomatoes, cheese, chicken and sour cream. Line bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish with the tortilla pieces. Top with the chicken mixture and bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Add small amounts of tomato liquid if mixture seems too dry. (I like this a bit gooey, so I add tomato liquid to suit the texture I like.) Serves 12 - 15.

P.S. I use fresh but cold corn tortillas instead of stale, and I don't even bother to deep fry them. I just break them up into bite size pieces
