Heat Lard and cook tortillas til just golden brown, then
dip into the cream/bouillon mix. Layer in the bottom of
a 9 X 12 baking dish. Add a layer of the chicken mix,
a layer of cheese then another layer of tortilla , just like
building a lasagna. End with a layer of tortillas.

Pour the remaining cream/bouillon mix over the top
