TEX-MEX CHICKEN STRIPS

I was looking for a way to amp up the flavor of regular chicken strips so I crushed up some leftover corn chips to create a crispy, flavorful coating. -Cynthia Gerken, Naples, Florida

TEX MEX CHICKEN OR TURKEY MOLE

From "The Only Texas Cookbook". This can be served over meats and rice sprinkled with almonds or heat corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 15 seconds each, then place one or two on a warmed plate, spoon 1/2 cup chicken over tortilla, and cover with sauce. I'm guessing that a deli roasted chicken would save lots of time preparing this. Times include stewing the chicken.

Sooo...I read all the fabulous posts on Tex Mex pies and casseroles and came up with this....husband LOVED it, but he is not picky...would love feedback, good or bad!! Plenty of subs in this recipe...use green chiles in place of banana peppers or any diced can of tomatoes in place of Rotel. I created this based on what I had on hand that smacked of Tex Mex....
