Chicken Tortilla

4 chicken breasts (or one whole chicken, stewed) *
12 corn tortillas
1 small can ortega chiles, diced
1 pound cheddar cheese, grated
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Directions

Cover chicken with water. Add onion and stalk of celery to water and simmer until done. Save any broth to mix later with soup.

Bone chicken breasts and break meat into large pieces. Slice tortillas in strips one inch wide. Combine soups, onions, chiles, and chicken broth.

Arrange layers of tortillas, chicken, soup mixture and cheese in flat baking dish ending with a top layer of cheese. Pour milk over all. Bake for one hour at 300 degrees.

This is better if it stands two or three hours or overnight. Can be prepared and frozen for later baking. Will make eight to 10 servings.
