CREAMY GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add onion and sauté 3 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and garlic and cook for 2 minutes (it will be thick). Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in chicken broth, followed by salsa verde, green chilies, chicken bouillon and spices. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and stir sour cream.
• Add chicken to a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup Green Chile Sour Cream Sauce and 2 cups cheese.
• Spread 1/2 cup Green Chile Sour Cream Sauce on the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish (layer will be very thin). Add the enchilada filling to the center of each tortilla (approx. ½ cup), roll them up tightly and line them in the dish seam side down. Top enchiladas evenly with remaining Green Chile Sour Cream Sauce followed by remaining cheese.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and center is hot. Broil until cheese is golden (optional). Top or serve with desired garnishes.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make white enchilada sauce. Melt butter in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Whisk until melted and gradually add flour, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until flour is absorbed, thickened and a paste-like texture achieved (a roux).
• Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisk until smooth and turn the heat on low. Simmer until the mixture has thickened a bit. 7-10 minutes, if it seems too thick you have simmered it for too long or measured the ingredients incorrectly.
• Add more broth or thin it out with ¼ cup water (add it gradually until sauce has become thinner). Stir in the green chilies, sour cream, ½ cup Monterey jack cheese. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Meanwhile, saute onion in a small nonstick pan with vegetable oil. When the onion is starting to become soft, add garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine rotisserie chicken, onion and garlic mixture, corn, grated cheese, spices (oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper),¾ cup cheese, and 2 heaping tablespoons of white enchilada sauce. Optional Step: If not making these for kids, add another spoonful of pickled chilies into filling!
• Assemble the Enchiladas. Prepare a bowl with enchilada sauce, warmed tortillas (see notes), a cutting board or a large dinner plate (for rolling up the tortillas), and the chicken mixture.
• In a 9x13 baking dish pour enchilada sauce enough to cover the bottom of the dish. One by one, dip each tortilla into the white enchilada sauce, shake off the excess sauce and place it on the plate.
• Fill each tortilla with about 2 heaping tablespoons of chicken mixture and roll them all up tightly. For easier rolling, I place the mixture slightly to offset the middle of each tortilla. Transfer enchiladas seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
• Pour the sauce over the enchiladas, top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese (or more if desired!).
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Optional: I like to bake these for 20 minutes and then turn on the oven broiler setting and bake them for 10 minutes until cheese is slightly browned.

FISH ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 13×9 baking pan with cooking spray. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan. Add garlic and saute about two minutes, until slightly golden, then turn the heat to low and stir in cumin. Add the fish and tomato and heat through. Turn off the heat and add the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Mix the green chile sauce and sour cream in a small bowl. Place about two tablespoons of fish mixture in tortillas and roll up, then place in casserole seam side down. (I find the tortillas more pliable and easier to work with if I wrap a stack of them in a damp kitchen towel and microwave them for 45 seconds.) After all the tortillas are filled and rolled, pour the green chile sauce evenly over them and sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and bake for 30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with reserved cilantro and serve. Preferably with margaritas.
