SKILLET CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the collards and cumin and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl (reserve the skillet). Add the chicken, half the scallions and 3/4 cup cheese to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Wipe out the reserved skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Stir in the salsa, heavy cream and 1/2 cup water; reduce the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Dip the tortillas briefly in the sauce and lay on a baking sheet. Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas and roll up.
• Remove 1/2 cup sauce from the skillet; arrange the enchiladas seam-side down in the skillet. Spoon the reserved sauce on top. Broil until the enchiladas are just crisp and lightly browning, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese and broil until bubbling, about 1 minute. Top with the remaining scallions, the avocado, cilantro and sour cream.

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.

SWEET POTATO AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In a wide skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into 1/2 inch cubes. Try to make them somewhat uniform so that they cook evenly.
• When the oil shimmers, add the sweet potatoes to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add the chopped bell pepper and garlic.
• Add the onion powder, cumin, and oregano.
• Saute for another 8-10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes and bell peppers are tender.
• Add 1 can of black beans, undrained.
• Season with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Add chopped spinach. You don't have to chop it if you don't want to, I just don't like big gloops of spinach in my enchiladas.
• Add 1/4 cup cilantro. Of course the cilantro is optional for all you haters out there.
• Add about 3 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce. You don't have to measure it, just eyeball it. We want to keep the filling nice and moist and get some more flavor in there.
• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
• Add a few tablespoons of filling down the center of 1 tortilla. Top with 1-2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Roll it up tightly and place it snugly on the edge of the pan.
• Continue with the rest of the tortillas. I misjudged and put 8 enchiladas in a 11x8 inch pan, so your arrangement might not look as tight as the photos. I used 10 tortillas total, (8 in 1 smaller pan). If you use a 9x13 they will fit just fine.
• Top the enchiladas with the enchilada sauce. Move the tortillas around a little bit so the sauce gets in between the enchiladas. I like to leave the edges of the enchiladas sauce-free so that they get a little crispy in the oven. I'm sure that's not authentic at all, but neither are sweet potatoes and black beans in enchiladas, so I'm rolling with it.
• Top the enchiladas with remaining cheese. How much you put on is really up to you!
• Bake the enchiladas at 375 for about 20-30 minutes. Take them out when the cheese is melted and the sauce looks a little bubbly. The edges of the tortillas will crisp up if you leave them in closer to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it and take it out when it looks good to you!
• Let the enchiladas cool down for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle a copious amount of cilantro (copious! Copious I say!) and white onions down the middle. Don't skip this step unless you are a true cilantro hater! That fresh garnish really does make a huge difference.
• I would serve this with Tejano beans, or maybe this Spanish Cauliflower Rice if you are trying to low-carb it.

Steps:

• Sautee onions in a pan. Once they are done, add boca meat and heat on the stove at medium heat.
• Add taco seasoning with a little bit of water -- let meat soak it up.
• Add beans and rotel to the mixture.
• Meanwhile, spray a square baking pan.
• Lay out the four tortillas and add a slice of cheese to each.
• Divide meat/bean mixture among the tortillas. Wrap them and put in the baking dish.
• Pour the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes.
• Use any of the optional toppings once you have plated the enchiladas. I also like to add a little sugar free honey to the top for a sweet and spicy taste!

• In a pot, mix chicken, 1 cup cheese, onion, green chiles, tomatoes, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat until mixture is hot, stirring occasionally. Remove from stove.
• In a 9x13" baking dish, place 1 cup sour cream in bottom of dish.
• Fry tortillas in oil until soft, not crisp, and drain on paper towels.
• Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture then roll up and place in a baking dish (seam side down). Or if you are lazy like me just make layers instead of rolling each enchilada. Repeat with all 12 tortillas.
• Pour remaining chicken mixture over top, cover with sour cream, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.
