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.
