Steps:
- Add the chicken to a large stockpot, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside. Reserve 3 1/3 cups of the broth (1 cup is for the chicken gravy, supplement with boxed stock if you don't have enough.)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/3 cups of the reserved broth, the Chicken Gravy, green chiles, onions, garlic, sour cream, cumin, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
- Spread 1 cup of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of 6 tortillas over the mixture, and then top with 1 cup shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat this layer three more times, ending with cheese. Spread any remaining mixture over the cheese. Make sure all of the tortillas are covered or they will get very hard during baking. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, after about 5 minutes, whisk in some salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut chicken breast into 1/2-inch cubes. Combine cornmeal, morita powder, and salt; sprinkle over chicken. Toss to coat, and place in a colander; shake off any excess cornmeal.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with olive-oil cooking spray over medium-high heat; add chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, mixture over the tortilla, and spread to coat evenly. Place a second tortilla on top, cover with half the canned tomato mixture, and top with a third tortilla. Cover with remaining chicken mixture and the last tortilla. Spread remaining canned tomato mixture over the top, and sprinkle with cheese.
- Place in oven; bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer from oven to cooling rack for about 15 minutes. Release springform; remove sides. Cut into six wedges using a serrated knife. Serve.
Tips:
- For a creamier casserole, use a combination of sour cream and cream cheese.
- To add more flavor, use a can of diced green chiles or a jar of salsa.
- If you don't have corn tortillas, you can use flour tortillas.
- Be sure to spray the baking dish with cooking spray to prevent the casserole from sticking.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded lettuce.
