CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a small bowl, combine chicken, 1 cup of cheese, green chiles, salt, and pepper.
• In a small skillet, bring enchilada sauce to a boil. Remove from heat.
• Dip each tortilla into the heated sauce for a few seconds to soften.
• Spoon ⅓ cup of chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons sour cream down the center for each tortilla (I usually put the sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut the bottom tip which makes it easier to squirt right down the center).
• Roll the tortilla and place seam-side down in 8x8 (or 9x9) inch baking dish.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour the remaining heated enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Using tongs, add 1 tortilla and cook until softened, turning once, about 15 seconds for each side. Transfer tortilla to paper towels and drain well. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in heavy large skillet. Add onion, pepper, oregano and basil and sautee until onion and pepper are tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into dish. Place scant 1/4 cup chicken in center of 1 tortilla. Sprinkle with 1 generous tablespoon onion mixture. Set aside 1/2 cup cheese for topping. Spoon 2 generous tablespoons cheese atop chicken. Roll up tortilla and place seam side down in prepared dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken, onion mixture and cheese. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup cheese. Cover with foil. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake enchiladas, covered, until sauce bubbles and cheese melts, about 35 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream.

CHICKEN & OLIVE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large casserole dish or lasagna pan, evenly spread 1 cup of the enchilada sauce across the bottom.
• Mix chopped cooked chicken with condensed chicken soup in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet until hot.
• Dip corn tortillas one at a time very briefly for about 1 second on each side, or until they soften.
• You may also just heat the tortillas to soften them (microwaving for a few seconds is one way), without using the oil, but they do tend to split.
• Place the softened tortilla on a plate and place several tbsp of the chicken filling across the center of the tortilla.
• Fold sides of tortilla over to enclose the filling, and place enchilada seam side down in the casserole dish.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
• Pour remaining 2 cups red enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, trying to make sure that all the corn tortilla parts get covered.
• Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.
• Garnish with the chopped onion and sliced olives, if desired.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven or until heated through and cheese is melted.
• To serve, garnish with sour cream, if desired.

GREEN CHILE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray saute onions, garlic, bell pepper, and corn until tender.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in chicken, salt, and pepper, then add 1/2 c of enchilada sauce. Mix well.
• Spread 1/4 c enchilada sauce on the bottom of an 11x7 inch pan.
• Spread 4 tortillas with sour cream, then place in pan. Pour half the chicken mixture on top.
• Add 1/4 cheese and top with two tortillas.
• Pour 1/4 c enchilada sauce over tortillas, then cover with remaining chicken mixture and 1/4 c cheese.
• Spread 1 T of sour cream on two tortillas, then place them CREAM SIDE DOWN on top of casserole. You will want to layer them crossways from the two tortillas below (trust me, this works).
• Spread 1/4 c enchilada sauce on top of tortillas, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 c cheese.
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
