INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, cut into strips
- 3 (10 inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (16 ounce) jar raspberry salsa
- 3 cups grated zucchini
- 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cooked and shredded

In a large skillet heat oil, then add onion and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes. Add zucchini, and saute for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain well, and remove skillet from heat. Stir in chicken; set aside.

Spray a 10 inch pie plate with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture into it, then sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheese. Place 1 tortilla on top of the cheese layer, then spread on 1/2 of the salsa and add 1 more tortilla. Spread the remaining 1/2 of the salsa, then the remaining 1/2 of the chicken mixture over the tortilla. Top with 1 more tortilla and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 of the cheese.
