Tex-Mex Chicken Bake image

Corn tortillas filled with a cheesy chicken and salsa combination, then baked in the oven with a salsa and cheese topping. Serve with a salad or shredded lettuce and sour cream. Delicious. This recipe is gluten free but if you don't require your meals to be gluten free then you can use regular tortillas and your favourite salsa.

Yield 8 baked tortillas, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups bottled salsa, ensure gluten free
1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
1 white onion, finely diced
20 g butter
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
8 white corn tortillas, ensure gluten free

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.

  • Roll each tortilla and place side-by-side on a greased baking tray (seam-side down).
  • Spoon the remaining salsa over the top of the tortillas and then cover with the remaining 1 cup of grated cheese.
  • Bake 20-30 minutes or until heated through.
