Ok. So, the other day, Matt and I were discussing 2 bags of Monterrey Jack cheese we had in the fridge that I was SUPPOSED to use for one thing, but used forgot and used a different cheese. Yes, we were discussing cheese. Hey, it was in the fridge and must be used.
Matt suggested chicken enchiladas verdes, but I cringed. I know he does not care for it (he HATES cilantro) and the thought of bottled sauce made me gross out and the thought of making my own just sounded like too much work. So, I thought and I thought and I thought so more...picture Pooh Bear "think, think". Than I said...ok, let's take your idea and change it a bit. What if I made some chicken...shredded said chicken...mix in some canned chopped green chiles....put on top of tostata shells....top that with Jack cheese....bake in oven until melted...top with shredded lettuce and either pico de gallo or salsa. Yes, he said, that sounds great.
And thus was the culmination of tonight's dinner. I took a couple breasts...seasoned with garlic salt and pepper and broiled until done...shredded and mixed with one can diced green chiles....put evenly on tostada shells and topped with cheese. Baked until melty...topped with shredded lettuce...some salsa for Daniel, pico and salsa for Sierra and I, and plain for Matt.
QUICK...EASY....and thumbs up from everyone (and no more bags of Monterrey Jack cheese wasting away in my fridge).
Sorry no pics. What can I say...Wednesdays are crazy for us due to church!!
