This recipe is a take on my mom's enchiladas that I LOVED eating as a kid. I simplified the recipe to make it fit my lifestyle more. I do not cook the sauce and I do not combine the sauce and the chicken like my mom does.
Also note-almost everything in this recipe is APPROXIMATIONS. I know that is horrible for a food blog, but, I have never used a measuring cup or spoon when I make this. Just tweak it to your liking!
2 Chicken breasts cooked and chopped (I broil mine sprinkled with garlic salt, cumin, chili powder, lime juice and oil.)
2-3 Cups shredded cheese (mont jack, colby jack, mexican blend, whatever you prefer.)Flour tortillas-soft taco size
Saute in a pan til soft, 1 onion-chopped and one garlic clove minced
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 to 2 C. sour cream
1/2 to 1 C. salsa
1 can diced green chilies
1/4 to 1/2 C. green salsa (I only add this if I have it on hand)
A couple or a few shakes of hot sauce
A few shakes of chili powder
A few shakes of cumin
Just mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a big bowl.
Lay
out a 9x13in. pan, your tortillas, your chopped chicken, your sauce and
your cheese . You can add the shredded cheese to the sauce (reserving a
bit to sprinkle over the top) if you want to skip a step.
Put a blob of sauce in the bottom of your pan and spread
around. Then get to filling and rolling your tortillas. NOTE: Make sure
you do NOT use all your sauce on the inside of the
tortillas, you want some left to spread over the top of all the rolled
enchiladas.
Sprinkle a small handful of chicken in the middle
of the tortilla, put a blob of sauce on there and a sprinkle of cheese,
then roll up. Place in the pan, seam side down. Continue this step until
your pan is full (I can normally get about 10 in there) I squeeze them
in there.
Place the rest of the sauce on the top of the enchiladas and
spread around, making sure to get all the tortillas covered. Then
sprinkle a little more cheese on top. You can cover and freeze them like
this or you can just bake them right away.
Cover with foil and bake for about 20-30 mins in a 350 degree
oven. Remove the foil and bake another 10 mins or so, til the edges are
bubbly.If you freeze them, just cook them at about 350, covered, for a couple hours until the center is warm and the edges are bubbly.
Serve with Rice, beans, shredded lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, chopped olives, and whatever else you like.
