1 can diced tomatoes with green chile

HEB That Green Sauce (medium)

2 cups Mexican Cheese

1 cup sour cream

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup water

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

1 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Begin cooking chicken is medium skillet. Continue flipping to prevent burning until chicken is cooked on all sides. Add taco seasoning packet with can of diced tomatoes and 1 cup water. Simmer the chicken for 20 minutes, until thoroughly cooked. Do not drain the liquid and shred the chicken. Place chicken in another bowl because the skillet will be used to make the roux. Begin heating oil on medium to low heat in a small skillet, this will be used to prepare the tortillas for the chicken mixture filling. Add the tortillas individually to the oil and coat them. Let them heat until they begin to raise then carefully remove the tortillas and place them on a plate to cool.

Spray a 13×9 in casserole dish with non-stick spray. Once the tortillas have cooled, begin filling them with the chicken mixture. Add 1 ½ to 2 tbsp of the mixture into the tortillas, being careful not to overstuff the. Place the filled tortillas, seam side down next to each other in the pan. Preheat the oven 375⁰.

Making the Sauce:

Melt butter in the skillet that was used to cook the chicken. Be sure to scrape the sides as the butter melts to get all the pieces on the skillet into the mixture. Add the flour slowly while stirring the butter until the mixture is a smooth roux. Slowly stir in the chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.  Continue stirring as the sauce thickens. Add 1/3 of the 10-ounce container of That Green Sauce, stirring the mixture. Remove from heat and add the sour cream. Pour the sauce over the filled tortillas and add the cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook an additional 5 minutes under low broil to brown the cheese.
