Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium, non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook chicken until no longer pink and juices run clear. Drain excess fat. Cube the chicken and return it to the skillet. Add the onion, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano and ground black pepper. Heat until cheese melts. Stir in salt, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, green pepper and garlic.
• Roll even amounts of the mixture in the tortillas. Arrange in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with taco sauce and 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Wrap corn tortillas in foil and warm in the oven. Bring broth to a boil in a saute pan. Set chicken into broth with bay and oregano and onion. Return to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Poach chicken in broth 10 minutes. Remove chicken breasts to a bowl and shred with 2 forks. Add 1/2 cup of cooking liquid and tomato paste, spices and salt and work through the chicken using the forks.
• Combine all sauce ingredients and heat through, keeping warm until needed.
• Remove tortillas from oven and switch broiler on high.
• Pile chicken mixture into warm corn tortillas and roll. Line flameproof casserole or baking dish with enchiladas, seam side down. Pour hot tomato sauce over the chicken enchiladas and top with cheese. Place in enchiladas in hot oven 6 inches from broiler and broil 5 minutes to melt cheese and set enchiladas. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• One at a time, hold the tortillas over the stovetop burner (heated to medium heat) to brown slightly, about 30 seconds per side. Set the warmed tortillas aside.
• In a bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, Cajun spice, salt and pepper. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mix.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken on both sides until done in the middle and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate to cool, then shred finely with a fork.
• Throw the onions into the same skillet, stir them around and cook until deep golden brown and caramelized, 4 to 5 minutes; set them aside on a plate. Pour the enchilada sauce into the skillet and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to warm through.
• To assemble the enchiladas: Pour 2 cups of the sauce into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish and leave the rest in the skillet. Dip a tortilla into the sauce in the skillet, then lay it on a baking sheet or plate. Sprinkle some cheese down the middle, followed by some chicken and finally, some of the caramelized onions. Roll it up tightly, then place it seam-side down in the casserole dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Give it a final sprinkling of chili powder.
• Bake until hot and bubbly, 30 minutes. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• Serve the enchiladas topped with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of diced tomatoes, a sprinkling of cilantro and a wedge of lime.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
• Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
• Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.
• Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.

CHIK'N ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Toss in the strips of pepper and onion along with the red pepper flakes and stir around to begin cooking them.
• When the onion begins to soften and the layers break apart, add the chick'n tenders and adobo seasoning. Cook everything until the chick'n just begins to warm up and the onions are beginning to become translucent.
• Heat the refried beans in a skillet, or you can just microwave them to soften them up.
• Spoon about one-third of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of a glass baking dish. I usually end up with two dishes of enchiladas.
• Put a good "smear" of refried beans down the center of a tortilla.
• Add about 1/8 of the pepper, onion, and chick'n to the tortilla. Make sure to lay the strips out longways.
• Add a small handful of cheese on top.
• Roll the tortilla and tuck into the pan. Keep doing this until the pan is full.
• Spoon the rest of the enchilada sauce over top of the enchiladas and spread out until they're nice and covered.
• Toss any leftover cheese on top of the enchiladas. You can even grate some extra on top to make them very cheesy.
• Bake in the oven about 15-25 minutes, until the ends of the enchiladas begin to crisp up or until you can't stand it any more.
• Allow to cool for a few minutes, serve and enjoy.
