List of Ingredients



• Filling:
  
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
  
• 1 1/2 cups diced yellow onions
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
  
• 2 teaspoons paprika
  
• 1 teaspoon cumin
  
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 3 cups shredded cooked boneless chicken
  
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  
• Casserole:
  
• 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  
• 2 cups bottled tomatillo sauce
  
• 8 corn tortillas
  
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  
• 1/2 cup chopped green chilies, drained
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
   
2. Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan. Add onions, and cook them until they are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Blend in garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Add chicken, and heat through. Remove the pan from the heat; stir in cilantro.
   
   
3. In a small bowl, combine the cheeses.
   
4. On the bottom of an 8 x 8 1/2-inch pan at least 2 inches deep, spread 1 cup of the tomatillo sauce. Top with 4 tortillas, overlapping as necessary. Spread half the sour cream evenly over the tortillas. Add 1/2 cup of the remaining tomatillo sauce, 1 1/2 cups of the chicken filling, 1 cup cheese mixture, and one half of the green chilies.
   
   
5. Top with 4 more tortillas, the remainder of the sour cream, tomatillo sauce, and chicken filling, 1 cup of the cheese mixture, and the remaining green chilies. End with 1 cup cheese mixture sprinkled on top. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly on the surface.
