workbowl. Cover and process until smooth; add to bean mixture in bowl.
Heat oil in 10-inch skillet until hot; stir in bean mixture. Cook
uncovered, stirring frequently, until mixture is consistency of cake
batter. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spoon scan 1/4 cup chicken onto half

round shallow casserole or rectangular baking dish 13 X 9 X 2-inches; spoon
bean mixture over tortillas. Top with sour cream, cheese and green onions.
Bake uncovered until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
