Ingredients:
- 12 corn tortillas
- 3 cups green chile sauce
- 1 1/2 cups white shredded cheese (panela, jack, mozzarella, queso blanco)
- 1/4 cup diced green chiles
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
- Warm oil
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled

Toss together the chicken, chiles, cheese and 1 cup of the chile sauce.Dip a tortilla in the oil to soften in. Or you can brush each tortilla with oil and bake in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes to soften them.
Lay a tortilla flat and fill with about 1/4 cup of filling down the center. Bring the edges over the filling to close it and then lay the tortilla seam side down in a 9x13 baking dish. Repeat until all of the tortillas are filled.
Pour remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the cotija. Bake for 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
