Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 1 bottle of salsa
- 1 4oz can of green chilis
- 2 cups mexican cheese mix
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups warm milk
- 2 cups sour cream
- chopped tomatoes
- chopped green onion
- soft taco sized tortillas
Directions
-
Cook a pack of chicken breasts, shred the breasts then add the salsa (save 1/4 the jar for rice), the green chilis and 1 cup mexican cheese mix (the preshredded bags).
-
Make a white sauce in another pot: melt the butter, stir in the flour, and add the warm milk. Stir it till it gets thick then add in some sour cream, a small container or half of a large one. Mix it up till it’s warm.
-
Pour about 1/4 of the white sauce into a baking dish, enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Put the chicken/cheese mixture into warm tortillas, put those in a baking dish, top with the remaining white sauce and cheese. Bake until warmed through.
-
Garnish with chopped up green onions and tomatoes if you like. You can add some fresh tomatoes to the chicken mixture earlier if you want to as well.
