Ingredients

  • 1/2 of 1 pre-cooked roasted chicken shredded (3 cups)
  • 1 package corn tortillas 6", 12 count, cut into triangles
  • [1 28 oz can green enchilada sauce or Tomatillo Salsa Verde Sauce]
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese Mexican blend
  • 1/4 - 1/3 cup oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Shred chicken and set aside.
  2. Cut tortillas into triangles.
  3. Add oil to skillet and pan fry tortilla triangles on medium-high to slightly crisp the the corn tortillas. Cook in single layer batches. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Carefully discard leftover oil from frying the tortillas.
  5. Add enchilada (start with 1 cup) sauce and chicken to heat. Add tortillas and fold in ingredients.
  6. Top with cheese and cover until cheese melts. Once melted, add any condiments you would like; olives, green onions.
  7. Garnish with any additional condiment; avocado, sour cream, salsa, diced tomatoes once plated.

Notes

  • You may not need all 28 ounces of the enchilada sauce. I've noticed it depends on the thickness of tortillas used. The super soft and thin brands will not require as much sauce and will get mushy if too much sauce is added. Add one cup first, then half cup to the desired consistency.
