Fergie's Heirloom Tomato, Green Chile & Chicken Casserole

My husband is working at the fire station and I wanted to take them a nice dinner.  My husbands crew is all about homemade comfort food so I made this little beauty!  I used all fresh ingredients but if you are in a hurry you can use canned products.  When at all possible use fresh ingredients.

2 Cups Heirloom Tomatoes

1 Onion

2 Garlic Cloves

3-4 Cups Roasted and Peeled Green Chiles 

2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil 

2 Tablespoons Powdered Chicken Bouillon 

1 Teaspoon Oregano 

2 Cups Refried Black Beans

12 Flour Tortillas
2 Roasted or Poached Chicken Breast 

4 Cups Monterey Jack Cheese or Sharp White Cheddar 

Heat the oil in a pan and add the tomatoes...                                                              

Onions and garlic... 

Begin to slowly cook for about 10 minutes on low/med heat ... 

They should begin to cook down but do not allow to burn... 

You will end up with these beautiful smokey veggies... 

Put the tomato mixture and the chile's in a blender... along with the oregano and the 

chicken bouillon... 

Blend until smooth... 

Set up your station with the sauce, beans, chicken, tortillas and cheese... 

In a large casserole pour some sauce at the bottom... 

Arrange 6 of the tortillas at the bottom... 

Layer 1/2 of the beans... 

Sprinkle 1/2 the chicken... sauce... and cheese... 

Start the second layer...doing the same as the first... 

Sprinkle the top with plenty of cheese... 

Cover loosely with foil... 

 Bake at 375 for 45 minutes... Raise the heat to 400 and bake for an additional 15 minutes uncovered...

I wish you could smell this!!!
