Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cups - chopped onion
- 1 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoons - cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoons - dried oregano
- 1 - to 2 canned chipotle chilies chopped
- 2 tablespoons - tomato paste
- 1 tablespoons - white wine vinegar
- 2 cups - bite-size shreds skinned cooked chicken
- 24 - corn tortilla chips (2 3/4 in. wide)
- 1 1/2 cups - shredded jack cheese (6 oz.)
- 24 - fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/3 cups - finely diced firm-ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons - sour cream
- 1 tablespoons - finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 teaspoons - lime juice
- 2 teaspoons - milk
- - salt to taste
Directions:
1. In a 2 1/2- to 3-quart pan over medium-high heat, frequently stir onion in olive oil until onion begins to brown, 4 to 7 minutes. Add cumin seeds and oregano; stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add chilies, tomato paste, vinegar, and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring often, to blend flavors, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and stir until hot.
3. Meanwhile, arrange tortilla chips in a single layer in a 12- by 17-inch pan. Sprinkle equal portions of cheese on each chip and spoon about 1 tablespoon chicken mixture on top.
4. Bake in a 450° F oven until cheese bubbles, about 3 minutes. With a spatula, carefully transfer tortilla chips to a platter. Top each with 1 teaspoon Cilantro-Avocado Crema and garnish with a cilantro leaf. Serve warm.
Cilantro-Avocado Crema:
In a small bowl, mix all crema ingredients listed above, and mix well. Makes about 1/2 cup.
