Preparation

45 mins

Low

On a griddle, roast the nopales on both sides for about 15 minutes. In a skillet, cook the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, zucchini, chayote, shredded chicken, oregano, tomato puree, salt, and pepper in a little vegetable oil over medium heat until the vegetables soften (about 15 minutes). In a baking dish, place a layer of nopales, followed by the chicken filling and reduced-fat sliced Queso Panela Zwan®; repeat this process until the baking dish is full, sprinkle with Queso Manchego Zwan®, and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve, decorate with fresh oregano, and accompany with brown rice.
