Chicken Tortilla Casserole

Chicken Tortilla Casserole by Jen

2-3 baked chicken breasts
1 can chopped green chiles
1 large onion, finely chopped (I use about ½ onion because
otherwise it’s a little oniony)
1 can cream of chicken (or celery) soup
½ can evaporated milk
1 lb. cheddar cheese
1 lb. Monterey Jack cheese
Pace Picante Sauce
Black olives (optional)

Directions
Shred baked chicken. Cut tortillas in half. Mix soup,
evaporated milk and Pace Picante Sauce in bowl to taste. Spread
some salsa on bottom of a small casserole pan. Layer tortillas,
chicken, onions, chiles, olives (if used), soup mixture, and
cheese. Repeat layering, finishing with chees eon top.

Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for approximately one hour or
until cheese is bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Note: I actually mix the chicken, onions, chiles and soup
mixture together rather than layering everything. I also
sautéed the onions to soften them up because in the past they
have still been crunchy even after baking for an hour. Oh, and
I used pepper jack cheese in the casserole yesterday which gave
it a little kick.,"

Pork Carnitas

Pork Carnitas by Heather
3 tsp. salt
3 tsp. garlic powder
3 tsp. ground cumin
1 ½ tsp. crumbled dried oregano
1 ½ tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 (2-3 lb.) boneless pork should roast
2 bay leaves
2 C. chicken broth

1. Mix together salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander,
and cinnamon in a bowl. Coat pork with the spice mixture. Place
the bay leaves in the bottom of a slow cooker and place the
pork on top. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the
pork, being careful not to rinse off the spice mixture.

2. Cover and cook on Low until the pork shreds easily with a
fork, about 10 hours. Turn the meat after it has cooked for 5
hours. When the pork is tender, remove from slow cooker, and
shred with two forks. Use cooking liquid as needed to moisten
the meat."
