Chicken Enchilada Fettuccini Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1 whole, roasted chicken (I purchase mine cooked from Whole Foods, but you may buy your own hormone-free, free-range chicken and bake at home until very tender...see http://tammysrecipes.com/oven_roasted_chicken)
• Peanut or canola oil
• 12 corn tortillas
• 1 (8 oz) package mozzarella cheese
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup mild, prepared salsa
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
• 3 Tbsp tomato paste
• Olive oil
• 1 handful fresh cilantro
• 1 container (16 oz) light or fat free sour cream
• 8 oz (1/2 box) fettuccini noodles, cooked according to
  package instructions

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet at medium-high heat, add 3 Tbsp of peanut or canola oil. Add a tortilla to the pan. Cook for 2-3 seconds, lift up the tortilla with a spatula, add another tortilla underneath. Cook for 2-3 seconds, lift again, both tortillas, and add another tortilla underneath. Repeat the process with all the tortillas, adding a little more oil if needed. This way you can brown and soften the tortillas without adding a lot of fat. This process helps develop the flavor of the tortillas. As the tortillas brown a little, remove from the pan one by one to rest on a paper towel, which absorbs any excess fat.
• Sauté the chopped onion and garlic, then turn off heat. Add 1 cup salsa. Add 3 Tbsp tomato paste to 1 cup of water, add to large skillet. Add 1 cup crushed canned tomatoes.
• Pour some olive oil on the bottom of a large casserole dish, or spray with an organic olive oil cooking spray for fewer calories.
• Place all tortillas in casserole dish so that they cover the bottom of the dish. Cover the tortillas lightly with 1/2 package shredded cheese. Pull pieces of chicken from the bone and spread across top of tortillas and cheese. 
• Spread sour cream across top of chicken so that it spans the area of the dish. 
• Spread noodles across top of sour cream. 
• Pour sauce from pan atop noodles. Make sure all is covered with sauce. 
• Cover the whole thing with remainder of the shredded cheese. 
• Sprinkle fresh cilantro across top of dish.
• Cook casserole in the oven for 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
