Ingredients:  
2-4 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
1 lb. roasted green chile (peeled, seeded and roughly chopped)
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
1-2 onions
2-4 large garlic cloves

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Heat oil. Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper and sweat until soft. Add cream of mushroom and chicken. Let cook until it starts to turn golden brown and the moisture is gone from the pan. Add chile and drained tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then simmer, letting it reduce a bit, until the broth has some of the chile flavor. While sauce is simmering, lightly fry each tortilla on each side. Make a layer of tortillas, pour some sauce on top, making sure to get chicken spread evenly throughout. Add a layer of cheese. Add another layer of tortillas, sauce and chicken, and cheese, until you reach the top of the dish. Pour a bit more sauce on top and cover that topping with a generous amount of cheese. Bake approximately 30 minutes, or until the whole thing is bubbling and the cheese on top has completely melted. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve in heaping piles with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream and beans on the side.
