Ingredients
-
2 rotisserie chickens
2 jars (16 to 17.6 ounces each) mild salsa verde
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes)
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 container (8 oz) reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 package (8 oz) reduced-fat (2%) shredded Mexican cheese blend (2cups)
Directions
1. Remove meat from chickens and coarsely shred; place in medium bowl (you will need 5 1/2 cups; reserve any extra for another use). Discard skin and bones. Stir 1/2 cup salsa verde into chicken to evenly coat.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 13"X9" glass or ceramic baking dishes; set aside. In 12 inch skillet, heat remaining salsa verde, green onions, and lime juice to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 tablespoons cilantro; keep warm over very low heat.
3. With tongs, place 1 tortilla in salsa verdeo mixture; heat 10 seconds. Place tortilla on waxed paper; top with about 1/3 cup shredded chicken mixture. Roll up tortilla and place, seam side down, in prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, arranging 8 tortillas in each dish.
4. Stir sour cream and broth into remaining salsa verde mixture in skillet; spoon over filled tortillas. Cover one baking dish with foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle with 1 cup cheese and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese melts. Meanwhile, sprinkle remaining cheese and cilantro over second casserole and prepare for freezing.
Makes 2 casseroles with 4 main-dish servings each.
