CHEESE ENCHILADAS W/SOUR CREAM SAUCE



Cheese Enchiladas W/Sour Cream Sauce image

This is an enchilada dish I made for my grandparents when they came to visit us several years ago. They still rave about it. I have made it quite a few times since. The sour cream sauce is always a big hit.

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

32 ounces light sour cream or 32 ounces single cream
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies (sometimes I substitute chopped jalapenos for 1 can of chiles)
vegetable shortening
20 corn tortillas
4 -6 cups shredded cheese (I use cheddar, colby longhorn, "or" cheddar or jack)
1 onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Combine sour cream, soup, and chilis (and/or jalapenos) in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
  • When sauce is well heated, set aside.
  • Tortillas (step 1): Completely, but lightly cover both sides of one tortilla with shortening (Don't be afraid to use your hands), then place the tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
  • Tortillas (step 2): Completely but lightly cover one side of the next tortilla and place it atop the first tortilla, shortening side up.
  • Repeat Step 2 until all tortillas are stacked, then microwave the entire stack on high for 4-5 minutes.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Combine shredded cheese and chopped onion in a bowl and gently mix together using your hands.
  • Lightly cover the bottom of a baking dish with some of the sauce (This will prevent the tortillas from becoming stiff and chewy as they cook).
  • Place a generous portion of the cheese/onion mixture onto a tortilla, then roll the tortilla like a cigar (not too tight though).
  • Place into the baking dish, seam side down to prevent the enchilada from unrolling.
  • Repeat until all tortillas have been stuffed, rolled, and placed into the baking dish (it may take more than one baking dish for 20 enchiladas).
  • Cover the enchiladas with the sour cream sauce and any leftover cheese/onion stuffing.
  • Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

8 large flour tortillas or whole wheat
3 cups shredded cheese
8 ounces sour cream
1 can, 20 ounces Red enchilada sauce
1/4 cup yellow onions; diced
1/4 cup green onions; thinly sliced
toppings of your choice; guacamole, sour cream, diced tomatoes, onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the red enchilada sauce and sour cream until combined, creamy and smooth.
  • Ladle in about 2 cups of the sour cream enchilada sauce so it covers the bottom of the dish.

  • Add the remaining enchilada sauce to the top making sure to get the corners. I like to use a spoon to ensure the top is evenly coated with sauce. Top with 1 cup of cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted perfectly and bubbly. Garnish with more diced yellow onions and sliced green onions. Serve with guacamole, sour cream, chips and dip to make the perfect meal! Enjoy!

MEXICAN BRUNCH ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY CHEESE SAUCE



Mexican Brunch Enchiladas With Creamy Cheese Sauce image

If you want a spicy cheese sauce add in some cayenne pepper. I used the small pork breakfast sausages for this but really any kind will do, with the small sausages there is no need to remove the casings just crumble as you are cooking them, you will have to remove the casings if you are using the larger sausages. This recipe is also great for a dinner! The sauce from this recipe is wonderful, so you might want to consider using the sauce recipe alone for other recipe!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb pork breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons butter
5 green onions, chopped
14 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons whipping cream or 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
salt and pepper
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
shredded cheese, for topping (any amount desired)
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
3 cups half-and-half cream (or use full-fat milk)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, undrained
salt
black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • For the cheese sauce; melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add in flour; whisk constantly for about 1 minute.
  • Slowly add in the half and half cream; cook over medium heat whisking for about 5 minutes or until thickened; remove from heat.
  • Add in the shredded cheese and chiles; mix until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • For the enchiladas; cook the sausage in a large skillet crumbling with a spoon until cooked; remove the meat to a plate and drain fat.
  • Melt butter in the skillet, add in the green onions; saute for 1 minute.
  • In a bowl whisk the eggs with whipping cream then season with salt and pepper; add into the skillet that has the green onions in it; cook eggs without stirring until set on the bottom, then continue to cook stirring gently until the eggs are cooked but still moist; remove from heat and gently fold in the 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar and the cooked sausage.
  • Spoon about 1/3-cup of the egg mixture down the middle of each flour tortilla; roll and place seam side down into prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the prepared cheese sauce evenly over the tortillas.
  • Bake covered for about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with more shredded cheddar; return to oven and bake another 8 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and the cheese has melted (you can also bake it uncovered with the cheese added on top for 30 minutes, but I find that the cheese becomes too hard).
  • Delicious!

CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas image

My family loves these shredded chicken enchiladas with a savory cream cheese filling and green enchilada sauce.

Provided by Jaimie

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
8 green onions, chopped
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup lime juice
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
10 large flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can green enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the chicken breasts in boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool.
  • Beat cream cheese, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir tomatoes, green onion, green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice into the cream cheese mixture. Add 1 cup Cheddar cheese and fold to integrate.
  • Shred cooled chicken with a pair of forks into strands; stir into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla and fold tortilla around the filling; arrange into the prepared baking dish. Top tortillas with remaining Cheddar cheese and green enchilada sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cheese: For the best melting and flavor, use a blend of cheeses that melt well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca.
  • Make Sure the Sauce is Smooth: If you're making the sour cream sauce from scratch, be sure to blend it until it's smooth and lump-free. This will help ensure a creamy and flavorful sauce.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, can add a lot of flavor to the enchiladas. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they can be more concentrated.
  • Don't Overfill the Enchiladas: When filling the enchiladas, be careful not to overfill them, or they will be difficult to roll and may fall apart.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Cheese enchiladas with sour cream sauce are a classic Mexican dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your enchiladas are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
