Ingredients
- Serving Size : 70
- 2 whole skinless boneless chicken breast – cooked, shredded
- 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese – grated
- 1 red bell pepper – seeded
- 4 roma tomato – peeled, seeded and
- 4 ounces chopped green chilies, canned
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro – finely minced
- 16 ounces phyllo dough – thawed
- 1 cup butter – or as needed, melted

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ear corn – kernels scraped off
- 6 roma tomatoes – finely chopped
- 1 large onion – finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro – minced
- salt – to taste
- black pepper – to taste
Method
- Cut dough crosswise into 5 equal sections.
- If you want to serve it as an entree, then cut the filo dough into 4 sections so that the triangles will be larger.
- Make 4 or 5 of them per serving.
- In a medium bowl place the chicken, cheese, red bell peppers, Roma tomatoes, green chile peppers, and cilantro.
- Mix the ingredients together well.
- Preheat the oven to 400:.
- For each section of the filo dough (cover the other sections with a slightly damp cloth and keep them in the refrigerator), separate the pieces and lay them out flat on a large surface (work quickly).
- Brush all the pieces with the melted butter.
- Turn them over and brush the other side.
- Place a teaspoon of the chicken mixture at one end of each piece of dough.
- Fold the bottom left corner over the filling so that the bottom edge lines up with the side edge.
- Continue to fold the dough up in this manner (as you would fold a flag,) so that a multi-folded triangle is formed.
- Keep the completed triangles under a damp cloth.
- On an oiled baking sheet, place the filo triangles and bake them for 20 minutes, or until they are a golden brown.
- Serve the triangles with the Corn Relish and Guacamole on the side.
- RELISH: In a medium large saute pan place the olive oil and heat in on medium until it is hot.
- Add the remainder of the ingredients and saute them for 10 minutes, or until the corn is done.
- Makes approximately 4 cups.
- Serving Ideas: Serve with Corn Relish and Guacamole
