Instead of Flour tortillas she used white corn tortillas and fried each one in a pan with a little oil and rolled them with the filling.

6 (12 inch) flour tortillas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease large baking dish
In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the green onion until tender.
Add garlic powder, stir in green chilies, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Mix well
Reserve 3/4 of this sauce and set aside.
To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the chicken and 1/2 c of shredded cheese. Stir together.
Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining 1/2 c of shredded cheese.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

I have been asked how to install brushes into Painter a few times. So for those of you needing help with this here are the steps.
Open the Brush you want to install. There should be two files. One being a jpeg file. Copy both of those files and then go into, Computer – C drive – Program Files – Corel – Brushes – Painter Brushes – right click and paste.
When you open Painter you should see the brushes you installed on the Brush pallettes category!
As difficult as it can be for a pose from one cat, I needed a pose from two Cats. To get them together would have been an even tougher task. So I took a variety of photos of each and put them together. Here is what I started with. I took the eyes from one photo and added it to the Calico cat. Then added the Calico cat to the black cat photo, masked areas, flattened image, opened in Painter and painted!
Open your photo or a new document you want to put the bubbles on. “I used a new document and filled it with color”. Make a new layer and select the circular marquee tool, make a circle and fill with a light grey. Deselect. Take the circular marquee tool and make another circle inside the grey circle you just made. Go to Select/Transform selection to make your circular selection almost to the edge of the grey circle. Then go to edit/cut.

Select the eraser tool and select a soft edge brush at about 75 % opacity and go over the edge of the grey to give a transparent feel to the outline of your circle. Leaving some areas darker than other areas.
Now click on the brushes tool and select any brush. I like the brushes that look like a sponge. #36, etc. Click on white and paint a few small highlights onto the circle where the light reflection should be hitting it. Then turn your opacity down and very slightly paint some light white in half circle strokes in the circle. I also like to add some very light color too. Colors of the surroundings like the clothes, grass, etc would be good to add in the bubble to show reflections more. Remember you are adding very light amounts. You can even click on the dodge tool to highlight areas too.

Now to make more bubbles, click on the bubble layer and go over to the move tool and click on that. Hold down the Alt key and drag another bubble out to where ever you want. Keep doing that until you get all the bubbles you want. Each bubble will be on it’s own layer so you can click on each layer and resize turn move the bubble to wherever you want!
You can also click on the liquify tool and liquify your bubbles too.
Have fun making your bubbles~and would love to see what you come up with!
