Ingredients

  • 2 (10 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 lbs shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 3 dozen corn tortillas
  • 6 california green chilies
  • 12 cup milk

Method

  • Roast the green chilies in the broiler on high.
  • If you have never roasted green chilies be sure to keep a watchful eye on the broiler.
  • (Approximately 3-5 minutes on each side).
  • The chilies can burn very quickly.
  • Once both sides have lightly browned take out of oven.
  • Place close to the sink.
  • Turn water on cold let it run while you remove the skins, seeds and stems.
  • It is much easier to do this step right out of the oven, even though it will be hot.
  • So be careful.
  • Place on a separate plate.
  • Once you are finished using your hands tear into small strips.
  • Using a non stick spray, lightly coat a 9.5x13.5x2 inch baking dish (approx 3 quart.
  • Set aside.
  • Get a sauce pan and pour both cans of cream of mushroom soup.
  • Add a little of the milk (I just guessed 1/2 cup because I don't measure) until the "sauce" (soup) is not runny but not thick and lumpy.
  • Find a happy medium.
  • Put on a very low heat.
  • While that is warming up start heating up the tortillas on the open burners of the stove.
  • Only about 5 seconds on each side.
  • Don't let the tortillas burn.
  • Once tortillas are warmed and soup has gotten a little bubbly turn off soup.
  • Have the cheese and chilies next to the baking dish and ready for the assembly.
  • Using a ladle or big spoon, pour a thin amount of soup into the greased baking dish.
  • This will help the bottom of the tortillas from being dry.
  • Make two rows of tortillas, three for each row.
  • Lightly coat the tortillas with soup then sprinkle generously with cheese and the strips of green chilies.
  • Repeat until you have the top layer.
  • You can garnish with green chilies, it makes it look, "interesting".
  • (About 5 layers total).
  • Bake at 350F until the cheese is bubbly.
  • NOTE: If you are not a big cream of mushroom fan you can always use cream of chicken and add some shredded chicken to it like enchiladas.
  • Either way, it's very yummy!
  • (Probably not something you would want to make all the time though).
