Chipotle-Baked Tortilla Casserole
Ingredients:
10 ounces tortilla chips
2 cups shredded, cooked chicken
1 can (28 ounces) tomatoes in juice, drained
2-3 tablespoons Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
1½ tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 small white onion, sliced ¼-inch thick
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
Salt to taste, usually ½ teaspoon
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1 cup shredded cheese, such as Monterey Jack
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 4000 degrees. Arrange tortilla chips into 13X9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with chicken. Coarsely puree tomatoes and Tabasco sauce in a food processor or blender. Heat oil in a large saucepan; add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute, then stir in broth, tomatoes, and salt. Heat to boil. Stir in cilantro. Pour the boiling sauce over the chips, coating them evenly with the sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until lightly browned on top and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serves 6.
