Enchilada Lasagne

                                                           I stole the pic from the original blog. Go check it out! 

I made some changes from the original recipe based on what I had at home.  Mr. Smith loved it.  Not good for you, but tasty.  We used flour tortillas this time.  No good.  They got all doughy.  Lesson learned.  Stick with the corn ones.

The original post can be found at Mogwai Soup.

I made some changes.  The original called for corn tortillas.  Yeah, covered that already.  It also called for a can of cream of celery soup and a can of cream of chicken soup.  I hate that gloppy canned grossness so make my own "cream of whatever" soup.  This one I just made 2 cups of cream of chicken.  I also didn't have soup cream so used cottage cheese and Bulgarian yogurt that I got at Whole foods.  NOT good for breakfast stuff for me.  Really bitter and runny.  But it was a fantastic substitute here.

Here's the way I did it...

The Ingredients:

2 T veg oil
1 Lb chicken boob chopped into bite sized bits
4 c (or so) sharp cheddar cheese shredded
2 cans (same as 2 cups) cream 'o chicken soup (I make my own cream 'o soups, so this time I used chicken)
3/4 c low fat cottage cheese
3/4 c Bulgarian yogurt (I just happened to have this around)
1 large can diced green chilis
1 can corn niblets drained
1 t cumin
2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
corn tortillas

The Labor: 

Brown chicken in oil.  Set aside.

Mix the wet stuff (cream 'o chicken soup, cottage cheese, yogurt, chilis, corn, cumin, s&p). Set aside.

Use the same pan you would for Italian lasagne.  The bottom layer is 1/2 c of the creamy stuff spread around.  Then layer tortillas, chicken, cheese.  Repeat.  Be sure to end with cheese on top.

Bake at 425 for about 25 minutes or until brown on top and bubbly.

Let cool to avoid second degree burns on the roof of your mouth from cheese lava.

Mine didn't set up like lasagne does, so I served it in a bowl.  Mr. Smith cared not a whit.

FYI, this down here is the Bulgarian yogurt in case you didn't know what I was talking about.

Last little legal tidbit:  This is for my personal use.  I don't claim nor advertise ownership of this recipe.  Please go to the original post for that, linked above.  If you take issue with this post at all, please let me know and I'll gladly remove it.  *whew*
