QUICK AND EASY GREEN CHILI-POTATO ENCHILADA CASSEROLE #5FIX



Quick and Easy Green Chili-Potato Enchilada Casserole #5FIX image

5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. I have a large family, (12 of us) and I buy the large bags of tortilla chips from a grocery warehouse. We always had a fourth of a bag left because by then they would be all crushed and the kids wouldn't eat them. One day my husband gave me a challenge to try to come up with some way to use the crushed chips, at the same time one of my grandsons decided he was going vegetarian. So I took it on as a double challenge and also decided I could only use what I had on hand. This is how the recipe was born. Ingredients can be adjusted to fit whatever size casserole dish you might want to use. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a side of mexican rice (optional) I make it in a large alluminum tray (20 3/4"L x 12 13/16"W x 3 3/8"D) the qty of the ingredients are for this pan but can be adjusted for any size casserole pan.

Put 1/2 cup of the Chicken mixture down the middle of each Tortilla then roll up the Tortillas and place seam side down in the prepared pan. 6. Now spread the remaining Enchilada Sauce over the top of the rolled Tortillas in the baking dish. 7. Sprinkle the Cheese over the top of the Enchiladas, then sprinkle the Black Olives and Green Onions over the Cheese. 8. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. All ovens cook differently so check the Enchiladas at 20 minutes. They should be heated through, the cheese melted and the sauce a little bubbly. ~Serve your Enchiladas with Shredded Lettuce, Sour Cream and additional Salsa. Mexican Corn is a great side dish to prepare and serve with your Enchiladas. Recipe By: Hot Dish Homemaker

Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10-count) package Old El Paso™ Flour Tortilla Small
1 (10-ounce) can Old El Paso™ red enchilada sauce
1 (14-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4-ounce) can Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (*or other desired filling, see options below)
1/2 cup whole-kernel corn
1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup thinly-sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Tuck each of the tortillas into the cups of a standard-sized muffin pan, gently pleating the edges of the tortillas so that they fit snugly inside each cup, careful not to let the tortillas fold too closely into the middle (since we'll need an opening for the filling later). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortilla cups have hardened slightly on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  • While the tortillas are baking, combine the enchilada sauce, black beans, green chiles, chicken, and corn together in a large mixing bowl. Toss until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Once the tortilla cups are ready, carefully spoon the filling into each cup until it is filled nearly to the brim. Place a pinch of cheese on top of each tortilla cup. Then return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through.
  • Remove from the oven, and sprinkle the top of each cup evenly with cilantro and green onions. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your enchiladas.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is overcooked will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will add flavor and richness to your enchiladas.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Enchiladas can be made with a variety of fillings, such as beef, pork, vegetables, or even seafood.
  • Serve enchiladas with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
