How to Make Chicken Acapulco

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 2 pounds of cooked chicken, shredded or diced, to the saucepan. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 4 ounces of chopped green chiles (canned), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Heat through, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded, about 5 minutes.
  4. Spread approximately 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each of 8-10 large flour tortillas (approximately 10 inches in diameter).
  5. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
  7. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas.
  8. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
