Yields/Serves:
12
servings
Ingredients:
For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce
½ tablespoon butter
½ small yellow onion, minced
8 ounces button mushrooms, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
½ cup chicken stock
Pinch of salt and black pepper
For the Casserole
24 corn tortillas
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
3 cups (about 10-12 chiles) Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese*
Ingredients list 2:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until soft, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushrooms and stir often until they are softened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onion-mushroom mixture and cook for about 1 minute.
- Whisk in LACTAID® Lactose-Free Whole Milk and stock; let it cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside. Season with salt and pepper.
For the Casserole
- Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 15 seconds to soften.
- Spread ⅓ cup of the mushroom sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place 6 tortillas on top, overlapping and coming up the edges of the dish.
- Add 1 cup shredded chicken, 1 cup of the creamy mushroom sauce, ½ cup of the green chiles and ¼ cup of the shredded cheese.
- Repeat the layering 2 more times. Finish with a layer of tortillas. Top with any remaining creamy mushroom sauce and green chiles.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
