Allow to heat through, or cook all the way if you are using raw chicken.
-
8
Sauce:.
-
9
Mix tomato sauce, water, and chicken broth and bring to a low simmer.
-
10
Add the guar gum.
-
11
You can use cornstarch or flour if you aren't low carb and don't have guar gum, but I don't know how much would be appropriate.
-
12
Add the agave, chili powder - I use a mix of chili powders (chipotle and ancho) for a deeper flavor, cumin, nutmeg, cocoa, garlic, and cilantro.

Let the sauce cook for about five minutes and then add the vinegar and star anise.

Place two fried tortillas in the bottom, side by side.

Cover with half the chicken, half the sauce, and half the cheese.
-

The recipe actually makes eight, we used the last four as sopapillas covered in honey!

You can also use regular tortillas and roll the meat in them, add sauce and cheese, and then bake.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling.
