Hoopa Chalupa

Chicken Chalupa 

 I must pay tribute to my wonderful Aunt Jen who gave me this recipe...Thanks Aunt Jen!!!  

This dish is one of my favorite things to make on a tight budget.  Most of the ingredients you have on hand already.  You can make it as spicy or as mild as you like.  This dish comes in handy when I need 40 minutes to pick up the house, do the laundry, workout, or catch up on my Tivo.  You can even make this ahead of time!  

3-4 chicken breasts, seasoned, cooked, and shredded (I put the chicken in a crockpot on low all day with my favorite seasoning)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

8 oz. sour cream

1 small can green chiles

1/4 c. milk

shredded cheddar cheese

4-6 large flour tortillas

1/2 packet of taco seasoning (I use the hot and spicy)  You could try a whole packet but I think it may be VERY spicy

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream soups, sour cream, milk, taco seasoning and chiles.  Lightly cover a 9x13 dish with cooking spray/oil.  Tear up 1/2 the tortillas into ~ 3-4 in strips and lay on the bottom.  Spread half of the soup mixture on the tortillas.  Spread  1/2 the chicken on top of the soup mixture.  Cover the chicken with shredded cheese.  Repeat the layers:

1. Tortillas

2. Soup

3. Chicken

4. Cheese

Bake on 350 for 40 minutes.  I like to cover the the dish for about 15 minutes at the beginning so the cheese doesn't get too crusty.  I serve this with taco rice and corn.   

Enjoy! :)
