I have
boneless skinless chicken thighs
a can of green chilis
shredded colby jack cheese
flour and corn torillas
chips and salsa
What can I make that I would only need maybe 1 or 2 more ingrediants for? I'll probably stop and get lettuce and tomatoe anyway so those are freebies.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

SOme great ideas thank you. I will definately try them. I ended up poaching the chicken in very spicy water with jalapenoes onions and carrots. I shredded it and put it in the flour tortillas, topped with cheese and sour cream, salad and chips and sauce on the side. I have enough chicken left over to make enchiladas tonight. I usually mix a jar of cheap chili verde salsa with a can of green chilis and sour cream. Mix the shredded chicken in with that. I'm going to incorporate a few of your ideas into it. Thanks Again

I'd drain the salsa to make it less liquid-y, and crush the chips very finely. Then I'd mix the salsa, crushed chips, chilis (also drained), and shredded cheese. Maybe add some cumin or chili powder.

Then I'd pound the thighs (between waxed paper or in a ziploc bag) until they were thin. I'd put a scoop of the salsa mixture on each thigh and roll it up, perhaps using a toothpick to keep it closed.

Set them in a pan, and bake at 350 until cooked (165 degrees or about 40 minutes).

Meanwhile, thinly slice the tortillas and bake them until they are crispy. When the chicken's done, sprinkle with a little more cheese and serve on a bed of thin crispy tortilla strips.

If you didn't want to do individual chicken thighs, pound them out and lay half of them in a layer in a casserole dish, then top with the salsa mixture, then top with more chicken thighs. At the end of the cooking time, sprinkle with shredded cheese and the crispy tortilla strips.

If you want to go lighter, grill up the chicken, dice it up and make a salad (assuming you get the lettuce). Use a little bit of some of the other ingredients, perhaps mix up the salsa with a bit of olive oil so it's closer to a dressing, and you're done.

Make chicken enchiladas and bake them in the oven. They are really easy and great. And you dont need anything else.

Ok you can definately get away with making enchiladas or fajitas. If I were you I would get a few cans of Ranch Style Pinto Beans and smash them and make refritos (refried beans) add some cheese to it until melted the definately make some guacamole. You could make tacos burritos anything mexican lol

Buy a jar of verde, (green chili sauce) boil and shred chicken, add can of green chilis...use jar of sauce to dredge tortillas and roll up chicken & cheese, top with lettuce & tomato. Maybe buy some Spanish rice?

Chips and salsa on the side.

Absolutely think Mexican!
