CHICKEN ENCHILADAS FOR FOUR
These chicken enchiladas put a little zip into any menu. The rolled tortillas are filled with a hearty mixture of cheese, chicken and green chiles and then topped with a creamy sauce and more cheese. I sometimes use leftover turkey instead of chicken. -Karen Bourne, Magrath, Alberta

GREEN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
This is one of my favorite ways to reinvent rotisserie or leftover chicken. This weeknight favorite is excellent if you're a meal prepper, and the homemade tomatillo salsa is awesome even on its own served with tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Make the tomatillo salsa: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the tomatillos are softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the lime juice and cilantro. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- For the enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon a little of the tomatillo salsa in the bottom of the dish.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and cumin and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Combine the onion mixture, chicken, queso fresco, sour cream and 2 cups Monterey Jack in a large bowl.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Divide the chicken filling evenly among the tortillas and roll up, burrito-style. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining salsa on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the enchiladas are warmed through, 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with queso fresco, cilantro and red onion, if desired.

This is my favorite Chicken Enchiladas recipe. I get requests for this recipe all the time. It's a bit lower in fat because you're not dipping the tortillas in hot oil. This recipe is from Betty Crocker's Chicken Cookbook.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in your largest pan, then fry the onions, peppers, chopped chilli and coriander stalks with half the garlic for 10 mins until soft. Stir in 2 tsp ground coriander and 2 tsp cumin seeds, then fry for 1 min more. Meanwhile, in another frying pan, fry the chicken in the remaining oil, in batches, until browned - add it to the pan of veg as it is done.
- Stir the beans, sweetcorn, coriander leaves and 150ml of the passata into the veg and chicken. In a bowl, mix the rest of the passata with the other crushed garlic clove, the remaining spices and the sugar, then set aside.
- To assemble, lay the tortillas onto a board and divide the chicken mixture between them, folding over the ends and rolling up to seal. Divide the passata sauce into the dishes you are using, then top with the enchiladas. Dot over the soured cream, sprinkle with grated cheese and scatter with the sliced chilli.
- Cool and freeze (see freezing tips, below) or, if eating straight away, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then bake for 30 mins, scattering with more coriander leaves to serve, if you like.
