Recipe Introduction


For a quick, south-of-the-border dinner, serve this flavorful casserole with salad greens tossed with cool ranch dressing and some piping-hot corn muffins.





List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  
• 10 flour or corn tortillas (6"' to 7" in diameter), cut into 1/2" strips
  
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken or turkey (about 1 lb boneless)
  
• 1 1/3 cups salsa verde or green sauce
  
• 2 cups shredded Chihuahua or mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
  






Instructions



1. Heat oil in 10" skillet until hot. Cook tortilla strips in oil 30 to 60 seconds or until light golden brown; drain.
   
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 quart casserole.
   
3. Layer half of the tortilla strips in casserole; top with chicken, half of the salsa verde (about 2/3 cup) and 1 cup of the cheese. Press layers gently down into casserole. Repeat with remaining tortilla strips, sauce and cheese.
   
4. Bake about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
