Hatch Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Pot luck affairs -- the kind where each person brings something to eat -- are big in the Southwest, especially in the church communities, and practically each time a pot luck is organized, you will find some form of Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas. It goes like this:

1 10oz. can cream of chicken soup
1 10oz. can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 medium onion, chopped
1 4oz. can chopped Hatch green chiles
2 cups chicken or turkey, diced
12 corn tortillas
cooking oil
3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, grated

Combine the soups, onion, chiles and chicken in a saucepan and heat through. Fry tortillas in hot oiil to soften and then drain on paper towels. In a three-quart buttered casserole, place a layer of tortillas, a layer of soup mixture and a layer of grated cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. This is a good dish to make around the holidays and use leftover turkey.
