I want to know what it means when it says to "layer the tortillas". Is it pretty much just laying them down overlapping a little bit?

Also it calls for "cooked and shredded chicken" , how do I go about doing this? Do you cook chicken the same way you cook groud meat? Or can I microwave it? And to shed it can I just use a cheese grater?

I have no professional training in cooking ... thanks for the help
:D

layer the tortillas:

it looks like they want you to basically do this in levels. first level, tortillas. second level, chicken/bean goop. third level, more tortillas. fourth level, salsa and cheese. it looks like a busted kind of mexican lasagne. think of it that way.

cooked and shredded:

grab some breasts, thighs, or whatever other meat you want and cook it like you normally do. i'd grill it, personally. when the meat is done, it should be tender enough to tear apart with a couple of forks, giving you the shredded part. discard the fat/gristle/bones.

What Phred said.

Oooh, Phred.. you could at least go out for dinner and drinks first. Sheesh :D

yes overlap the tortillas, imagine you had some playing cards and you wanted to cover an area, does not need to be perfect, but you also do not want a stack of 5 tortillas on top of eachother.
