Description

Directions

• Cut up chicken into bite sized pieces if using raw. Dice onion and bell pepper.
• If you are using raw chicken, melt 1 Tbs of the butter or coconut oil in a pan and cook the chicken until done.
• Remove from pan and set aside. Melt additional 1 Tbs of butter or coconut oil and cook bell pepper and onion on medium low until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add spices to pan. Mix them well with onions and peppers and cook for approximately 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add the cup of broth and stir it until youve loosened up all the pieces of spice on the bottom of the pan.
• Add cream, chile, and salsa, mixing well.
• Cover and cook over medium low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• At the end of 15 minutes, very carefully remove 1 1/2 cups of the hot mixture and put into an emulsion beaker or blender. (PLEASE use caution here!)
• Blend mixture until thickened. If using stick blender, keep blender in the bottom of the beaker to avoid being burned.
• Carefully pour blended mixture back into pan.
• Stir well and then add yogurt. After it’s all combined, add meat.
• Mix meat into sauce and gather sauce, tortillas, and cheese. Preheat oven to 350 F.
• In a 9x13 baking dish, begin by layering sauce/meat mixture. Just put enough to wet the bottom of the pan.
• Place whole tortillas in bottom (do not overlap), then tear another tortilla and fit it in around the empty spots.
• Ladle half the sauce/meat mixture on top of the tortillas.
• Evenly spread 1/2 of the cheese over the sauce/meat mixture.
• Repeat for second layer, layering tortillas, then sauce, and ending with remaining cheese mixture. Its ready for the oven!
• Bake at 350o for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Serve and enjoy! May be topped with additional sour cream.
