2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper
2 to 3 cups cooked diced chicken or turkey
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chopped fresh tomato for accompaniment

1. Saute mushrooms, onion, bell pepper and jalapeno pepper until tender. Remove skillet from heat; stir in chicken and green chilies. Set aside.
