directions
- I HAVE TWO WAYS --
- **********The First way**********.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Shred chicken into a medium sized bowl (This is probably my least favorite thing to do).
- Add Mexican seasoning, salt and pepper, basil, and green chiles to shredded chicken.
- Place oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
- Place 3 tortillas on a paper towel, place in microwave for 20 sec.
- Immediately, start putting the chicken mixture into the tortilla, roll up, place in oil.
- Flip over when one side is light brown.
- Remove from skillet, tilt the rolled tortilla to drain excess oil onto paper towel, place in large pan.
- Repeat process until all the chicken is gone.
- Empty the entire Green Sauce on top of the rolled tortillas.
- Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover entire pan. (I like mine SUPER cheesy!).
- Lightly season with mexican seasoning.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.
- *******The Second Way*******.
- This method entirely omits the oil and frying.
- Grease the bottom of the baking pan with Pam.
- Place 8 corn tortillas on the bottom of the pan.
- Place half of the chicken mixture on top of that.
- Pour between 1/4 to 1/2 of the green sauce can onto the mixture.
- Place 8 more tortillas on top.
- Place remaining chicken on top of that.
- Pour rest of the green sauce.
- Cover with cheese and season with Mexican seasoning.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.
