INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
  • 1/2 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
  • 1 (7 ounce) can prepared green chile salsa
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • oil for frying
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together chicken, chilies, and salsa.
  3. In a wide, shallow dish stir together salt and whipping cream.
  4. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each tortilla for a few seconds, until it blisters, and immediately dip into cream and salt.
