Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty nonstick foil on a work surface. Brush the foil with the olive oil (this will help the enchiladas get crisp on the bottom). Spread 1 tablespoon enchilada sauce in the center of each sheet.
- Combine the chicken, 1 cup cheese, the refried beans, corn, oregano, 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
- Stack the tortillas and wrap them in a damp paper towel. Microwave until warm and pliable, 15 to 30 seconds. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the chicken filling among the tortillas (about 1/4 cup each) and roll up. Place 3 enchiladas seam-side down on each sheet of foil, arranging them on top of the sauce. Spoon 3 more tablespoons enchilada sauce over each trio of enchiladas, then sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
- Grill the foil packets seam-side up until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are warmed through and crisp on the bottom, about 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining enchilada sauce in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Carefully open the foil packets and top with the warm enchilada sauce, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
CANYON RANCH MARINATED GRILLED VEGGIES
This recipe is a portion of the "Grilled vegetable strudel with tomato olive sauce" recipe out of the canyon ranch cookbook. I found this to be an excellent way to marinate and grill vegetables, and then use those in a variety of ways, as a side dish, in wrap or sandwiches, etc.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a 9x12-inch brownie pan with cooking spray.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, bacon, and roasted garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in green onions.
- Mix ranch dressing and sour cream together in a small bowl. Remove chicken mixture from heat and stir just enough ranch mixture into the skillet to barely coat chicken.
- Hold 1 tortilla and spoon 2 tablespoons chicken mixture across the middle. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend over chicken and roll tortilla up. Place filled tortilla, seam-side down, against the short end of the pan so it does not unroll. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling until pan is jammed full of enchiladas.
- Pour enchilada sauce on top of filled tortillas to cover without drowning them. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend generously on top of everything.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly on top, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chiles, and ranch dressing in a bowl; spread a thin layer of the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce into each tortilla; divide the chicken among the tortillas and sprinkle with 3/4 of the cheese. Roll the tortillas into cylinders and place seam-side-down into the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and cook a few more minutes until the cheese melts.

Tips:
- Prep the veggies first: Before starting on the main dishes, prepping and cooking the vegetables for the calabacitas will save time and ensure everything is ready at the same time.
- Use a grill-safe pan: If you don't have a grill, you can still make this recipe using a grill-safe pan or griddle on the stovetop.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When grilling the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan so that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Shred the chicken while it's hot: Shredding the chicken while it's still hot makes it easier and helps prevent it from drying out.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley add a delicious flavor to the enchiladas and calabacitas.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Top the enchiladas with your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
