MAKES: 4 SERVINGS

6 6-inch corn tortillas, each cut into six wedges

2 cups cubed cooked chicken

1 cup frozen whole kernel corn

3 Tbs light dairy sour cream

3 Tbs snipped fresh cilantro

1 Tbs all purpose flour

        Thinly sliced fresh jalapeno pepper

        Snipped fresh cilantro

        Chopped tomato

1.  Lightly coat four 10 – 12 oz baking dishes with nonstick spray.

Place 5 tortilla wedges in the bottom of each dish. Place remaining tortilla pieces on a baking sheet. Bake in a 350’ oven about 10 minutes or until crisp and golden.

2.  Meanwhile, combine chicken, corn, salsa verde, sour cream, cilantro, and flour. Divide mixture evenly among dishes.

If desired, garnish with additional dairy sour cream, thinkly sliced fresh jalapeno pepper, snipped fresh cilantro and chopped tomato.

MAKE AHEAD TIP:

Assemble casseroles as directed through step 2. Place baked tortilla pieces in a moisture and vapor-proof plastic bag. Freeze wrapped and labeled casseroles and baked tortilla pieces for up to 2 months.

To bake frozen casseroles, cover and bake in a 35o’ oven for 25 minutes.

Uncover and bake about 20 minutes more or until heated through. Top with tortilla pieces and cheese; bake for 5 – 10 minutes more or until heated through.

If desired, garnish as above.

I am a totally Spring Person! I crave the sun, the warmth.

And yes, I like summer too!

I look forward to seeing the green shoots starting to poke their heads up, like little green thermometers checking the weather.

Once I started planting Spring bulbs in the fall, Spring is that much more wonderful! I adore daffodils of any kind - the big ones, the skinny ones, the plain yellow, the yellow & orange, the white & orange....Love them all!

Here is the wonderful chicken recipe I've been telling you about:

Mrs. Shidlers Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

 a recipe my sister gave me

~3 cans cream of chicken soup

~1 pint sour cream

~8 oz. diced green chilies

~1 lb. grated cheddar cheese (I usually use CoJack cheese)

~tortilla chips, broken

~2 - 3 chicken breasts, cooked and cut up

Combine soup, sour cream, chilies and chicken in a bowl.

Place layer of broken tortilla chips in bottom of 9x13" pan.

Spoon 1/2 of soup mixture over the chips.

Top with 1/2 of the cheese.

Repeat (chips - soup - cheese).

Bake at 325' for 30 minutes, uncovered.

Yum.

Not too many ingredients, and none of them hard to find.

Delicious.

What a great recipe!

Even Chef Pluto would approve!

“Spring makes its own statement,

So loud and clear that

The gardener seems to be only

One of the instruments,

Not the composer.”

I'm working on several projects right now. One of them is reverse decoupage glass plates. Another one is making cards with my kirigami cuttings.

I think we have finally gotten most of the kinks out of our computer vs. camera problems. Who knew a computer could be so snobbish as to not recognize my scanner or my camera downloads?

We finally bowed to the computer and purchased a printer/scanner/fax-in-one that it might deign to recognize.

It will let us know.

It reserves the right to refuse this acknowledgement at any time, with out previous notice.

I think the credit card companies are in cahoots with my computer.....

On that ducky note, I will bid you adieu.
