2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies
1 pint sour cream
1 medium onion chopped
1 lb grated cheese
12 flour tortillas
6-8 chicken breasts cooked and cut into small chunks
Put chicken soup, chilies, and sour cream in large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until warm. Pour just enough of the sauce into a 9x13 Pyrex pan to cover bottom of pan. Reserve half of the remaining sauce and half of the cheese and set aside. Spread sauce on each tortilla and then add onion, cheese, and chicken. Roll each tortilla up tightly and place in pan directly on top of sauce. Arrange rolled tortillas close together. So they fit nicely in pan. Pour remaining sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese over the top of tortillas.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes till bubbly.
Serve with salsa verde, sour cream and guacamole on the side. Mexican Rice can be added along with hot refried beans to round out this delicious Mexican meal.
