Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 white onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
Pinch crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
One 16-ounce can diced green chiles
3/4 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
48 potato tots (from a 1-pound bag)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces Mexican chorizo, casings removed
1/2 white onion, diced
12 large eggs, beaten
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
10 ounces mozzarella, grated
Garnish: sour cream, sliced jalapenos, sliced radishes, chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
  • Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.

GREEN CHILE CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Green Chile Cheese Enchiladas image

Meatless and full of cheese. Can't remember where I first stumbled across this recipe, but I've never found a cheese enchilada recipe that I liked better. You have to try this one to appreciate it. It really tastes MUCH better than it reads!

Provided by lunaburning

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
1/2 cup minced onion
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups colby-monterey jack cheese
1 medium onion, minced
oil (for frying)
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Melt butter in a medium sauce pan, and sprinkle in flour. Stirring constantly, allow flour to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly stir in half-and -half. Simmer, stirring frequently about 5 minutes, or until thickened. Add chiles,1/2 cup onion and cayenne, and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
  • Mix cheese and medium minced onion. Heat oil in a skillet,(you only need maybe half an inch) then dip the tortillas in hot oil, one at a time, for about 5 seconds each. Stack them on top of each other on a plate, covered with paper towels as you go.
  • Scoop cheese mixture (about half a cup or so per tortilla) onto tortillas, and roll up, placing seam side down in a 13 x 9 inches baking pan. When all tortillas are rolled, pour the green chile sauce over all, and top with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered in preheated oven, for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Great when garnished generously with sour cream.

Tips:

  • To make the enchiladas more flavorful, use a variety of green chiles, such as poblano, Anaheim, and serrano peppers. Roasting the chiles before using them will also enhance their flavor.
  • Use fresh corn tortillas for the best results. If you use dried tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before filling and rolling them.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas or they will be difficult to roll and will fall apart. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per tortilla.
  • To prevent the enchiladas from drying out, cover them with foil or a lid while they are baking.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Egg and green chile enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will be sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give these enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
