• Boil the chicken with 1/2 cup onion and the salt and pepper until meat falls off the bones (about 1 hour), save the chicken stock for use later. Let the chicken cool, then slice the into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
• Mix 1/2 cup of the chicken stock with all the other remaining ingredients except the cheese and tortillas.
• Mix the three cheeses together.
• Dip tortillas into remaining reserved chicken stock and put a double layer of tortillas in two 8 inch x 8 inch pans (I use two 2 quart Pyrex glass ones), a layer of the soup, vegetables and chicken mixture, a layer of 1/3 of the cheese, then repeat these layers two more times.
