Mexican Chicken Pot Pie


MMMMMM!!! Chicken Pot Pie, so good and yummy. What could be better?? How about a Mexican style chicken pot pie??? This is really, really good! It got rave reviews. Which is good since I was using mostly stuff from the freezer and pantry.. Like I said, it has been a really tight week financially. I think total cost on this from the store was $2.00. I already had the chicken shredded in the freezer from a previous meal, and all the spices and soup etc.. So for 4 servings @.50 each, add in a salad and you have a nice healthy meal for very little money!! Hope y'all enjoy it!

Mexican Chicken Pot Pie:
Serves 4

2 Burrito-size flour tortillas
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2c shredded chicken (cooked)
1 bag of mixed frozen veggies (thawed)
1 can chopped green chilies (4.5oz)
1/3c chopped cilantro
4 cloves garlic, minced
1tsp salt
1tsp cumin
1tsp chili powder
1/2tsp coriander powder
1/2tsp dried oregano
1/4tsp cayenne pepper
Juice of one lime

Preheat oven to 375°. Place one tortilla on the bottom of a 9"pie plate.
Mix the chicken, veggies, soup, chilies, cilantro, lime juice and seasonings in a bowl. Place over the tortilla in the pie plate. Even out the mixture.
Top with the 2nd tortilla, push ends down. Coat with butter,olive oil, or nonstick spray. Bake covered with foil for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until top is golden brown and filling is hot.
