Ingredients:

Serving

12 corn tortillas (flour can be used, too)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
6 oz canned diced green chiles
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 cup bottled salsa
2 (15 oz) cans green enchilada sauce (or 1 big
6 cups cooked chicken, shredded (buy a couple rotisserie chicken breasts at the supermarket and shred those to save time)
2 cups chihuahua cheese, shredded (mexican cheese found in specialty cheese case)

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas (6 tortillas in two packets) in foil and heat in oven until warm and soft.
Meanwhile, (back at the ranch), in a large heavy saucepan or cast iron skillet, sauté onion in oil for 3-4 minutes.
Add spices and green chilies, cooking over a low heat.
Add salsa and chicken, increasing heat to medium and stir until hot. (If the mixture seems dry, add a little enchilada sauce.).
In the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch casserole, spread about 1/4 of the enchilada sauce.
Place even amounts of the chicken mixture on each tortilla, roll up, and place in baking dish seam-side down.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees until the cheese is hot/bubbly and a little browned.
