Chilaquiles (Tortilla caserole)

Ingredients

-1 bag White corn Tortilla chips

-1 chicken breast cooked and shredded

-1 jar green salsa (La Herdez is good and not too spicy but La Costena is better but spicier)

-water or chicken stock(probably just about 1\2 of the jar of salsa or more, just enough to make enough juice to go around)

-White cheese sliced or shredded (you can use monterey jack or even mozzarella and just put in as much as you want)

-sour cream (optional to mix in when you eat it, just however much you want)

Dirrections

Mix jar of salsa and water together. You really only want enough liquid to make everything get wet so that when the tortillas soak up the liquid it isn't too dry. Either on a pot on the stove, or in a 9/13 pan in the oven, place tortilla chips in pot. Pour salsa on top of tortillas, make sure to get all chips wet. Mix in shredded chicken and cheese to taste. If cooking on stove, cook and stir over medium heat till cheese is melted and tortilla chips are all soft. If baking in oven, cover with foil and cook at 350 or 375 till salsa is bubbling and cheese melted. Serve with sour cream to taste and side with refried beans.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! and Sarah, you can't make it without the beans!

Fiesta Lime Chicken

Okay, this is in response to lunch today. I made this chicken when we were doing the South Beach diet. We just served it with a salad on the side. You could do veggies too if you would like. Or just serve it with rice. It does have some kick so be ware. (At least if you use Tabasco sauce)

1. 
   
   

   Prepare marinade: Mix together in bowl; water, teriyaki sauce, juice from 1/2 of lime, garlic, tequila (if desired), liquid smoke, salt and ginger.

2. 
   
   

   Marinate chicken breasts at least an hour in mixture. (I like to marinade longer, 6-12 hrs maybe.)
   

3. 
   
   

   Prepare sauce: Mix together in bowl; mayonnaise, sour cream, salsa, milk, cajun spice, parsley and hot sauce.

4.

   Cut remaining lime into 4ths.

8.

   Great with rice!

I thought this would be good as a sandwich too. Just flatten out your chicken breast a little bit.
Serve on a bun with tomato, lettuce, jalapenos, extra sauce, whatever sounds good.

ENJOY!
