ENCHILADAS ACAPULCO



Enchiladas Acapulco image

This is so easy, so delicious, and did I mention easy? Mom and I had been toying with the enchilada recipes I've found here on Zaar that sparked our interest. I had been browsing the back of can labels (always on the lookout for recipes to try) and the "Acapulco" jumped out at me. I came home, made some adjustments to my old recipe, and this is what it turned out to be...a culinary vacation to Acapulco.

2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 -3 tablespoons old el paso taco seasoning mix
1/4 cup sour cream
1 (19 ounce) can green enchilada sauce (check the ethnic aisle for some really killer sauce, two small ones will work fine)

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 c cooked and shredded chicken
12 flour tortillas
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
8 oz sour cream
1 - 4 oz. can(s) diced green chiles, undrained
2 c shredded monterrey jack cheese
1/2 c diced onions
1-2 clove minced garlic or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
chicken stock/broth as needed to thin sauce
chopped fresh cilantro to taste
1 can(s) drained and rinsed black beans, optional
salt, pepper to taste; crushed red peppers to taste, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" x 13" non-stick baking dish with your favorite cooking spray.
  • 2. In a large bowl combine the chicken, the soups, sour cream, chiles, onion and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. (I add 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes too.) Fold in 1 cup of the cheese. Stir in enough broth to loosen the sauce, but be careful to avoid making it too soupy. The tortillas will absorb a lot of liquid though. Add the beans if desired.
  • 3. At this point you can either roll the enchiladas traditionally with about 1/4 cup sauce in each, or place a layer of 6 tortillas in the dish. Top with half of the sauce, then another layer of 6 tortillas, then the remaining sauce. If you choose to roll them, pour all of the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with foil.
  • 4. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Do not replace the foil. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts. Avoid over-baking as the tortillas can get tough. These are even better the next day!
