Mom's Stacked Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:

18  yellow corn tortillas
18 Kraft American cheese singles
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup 10.5 oz.
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup 10.5 oz.
1 small can of Diced Green Chilies (mild)
2 cans Chicken (drained but not dry)
Vegetable Oil (1-2 cups, just enough to cover tortillas when dipped)
9x13 cake pan
Small sauce pan
Soft ended tongs

Directions:

Wet ingredients: (The Goup) In a medium sized pot over low heat stir together all canned ingredients just until warmed through. (chicken, soups, chilies, chicken) Once warmed, turn off and/or remove from heat.

Construction of Stacked Enchiladas: 

  1. Partially unwrap and stack 18 squares of Kraft singles American cheese and set aside.
  2. Heat approximately 1 - 2 cups of vegetable oil (just enough to completely cover tortillas when dipped) in a small sauce pan over medium heat until a corn tortilla sizzles quietly - not popping or smoking (oil) - when dipped in the oil. Allow the oil to fully cover the tortilla
    • *Note - I do not release the tortilla from the tong. Simply do a quick dip, let sizzle for a moment, and remove. Hover over oil pan momentarily to allow excess oil to drip, then place tortilla in 9x13 cake pan.  
  3. Begin with 6 dipped corn tortillas for your bottom layer. (they will overlap and come up on the sides of the pan. (a row of 3, lengthwise - and the another row of three)
  4. Once tortillas are placed, spoon a bit of "the goup" over each tortilla.
  5. Once the goup is spooned onto the tortillas, top each tortilla with a cheese slice
  6. Repeat #3-5, ending with a final/3rd layer of tortillas, goup and cheese slice. Your last layer can be less goup, but make sure your tortillas well covered so they don't dry out while baking.
