Cooking instruction summary:

Instructions Heat oven to 375. Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish and begin by placing a layer of tortillas on the bottom of the dish. Then add a layer of chicken and 1/4 a cup of the shredded cheese. Add on half a can of tomatoes and green chilies and one can of the verde enchilada sauce. Finish the layer with a half a can of the refried beans. Then cover with another layer of flour tortilla pieces, and start the layering process again. Once you are finished layering, cover the top with the remaining shredded cheese. Cover with foil, and then bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, add a few green onion tops, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Food Joke

Three guys were working on a high-rise building project - Steve, Bruce and Bluey. Steve falls off and is killed instantly. As the ambulance takes the body away, Bruce says, "Someone should go and tell his wife." Bluey says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it." Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Foster's. Bruce says, "Where did you get that, Bluey?" "Steve's wife gave it to me," Bluey replies. "That's unbelievable! You told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you the beer?" "Well not exactly," Bluey says. "When she answered the door, I said to her,'You must be Steve's widow'. She said, 'No, I'm not a widow.' And I said, 'I'll bet you a case of Foster's you are'."
