- When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and bone and chop finely.
- Mix cheeses until creamy and well blended. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne and red pepper sauce, mix well.
- Add chicken, cilantro, green onions and tomatoes. Gently fold into cheese mixture.
- Refrigerate overnight for full flavor. Adjust seasonings as desired.
Final Comments
This makes about 6 cups. It is enough to feed an army. I usually halve the recipe and it is still a lot.
