  • 12 corn tortillas (6 inch)

Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts in medium size saucepan; add in water and sliced garlic. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook just till tender, about 15 min. Cold. Remove chicken and reserve the broth. Cut chicken into thin julienne strips. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. Saute/fry onion in butter in medium size skillet just till soft, about 5 min. Add in minced garlic; saute/fry 1 minute. Add in chilies, chili pwdr, cumin, salt, oregano, and pepper. Cook 1 minute. Stir in flour till well combined. Cook 1 minute, stirring.
  3. Stir in reserved chicken-cooking broth, the 1 c. chicken broth and heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently till mix thickens, about 10 min. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 c. of shredded cheese till melted.
  4. Combine 1 c. cheese sauce with the reserved chicken. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat vegetable oil in small skillet till warm. Dip tortillas, one at a time, in warm oil just till limp, about 5 - 10 seconds on each side. Don't let them become crisp. Place on work surface.
  5. Divide chicken filling equally along the center of each tortilla. Top each with sliced green onions. Roll up each tortilla and place, seam side down, in 2 rows in 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Pour remaining cheese sauce proportionately over tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining 1 c. cheese. Bake in preheated warm oven (400 degrees) for 20 min or possibly till bubbly. Garnish with extra sliced green onion if you wish.
