EASY ENCHILADA PIE



Easy Enchilada Pie image

I got this off an internet site years ago and it's my favorite Mexican dish to make. It was from Roy Clark in Midwest Living Oct 1984. I have also made it with shredded chicken breast, and the last couple of times I made it I added a can of drained, rinsed light kidney beans. It's so yummy, honest! I lighten it up just a little using Campbell's "healthy" cream of chicken soup and skim or low fat milk. I also don't add the entire pack of taco seasoning...maybe about 3/4....but it's a taste preference.

Hatch Chile Enchilada Pie image

Tasty comfort food and a fun way to use slightly spicy, slightly sweet Hatch chiles when they're available at the grocery store.

Provided by Seth Kolloen

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 Hatch chile peppers, sliced in half lengthwise and seeded
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 ½ cups chicken broth, divided
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange Hatch chiles, skin-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Cool; remove and discard skins. Roughly chop chiles.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thighs until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour 1 cup chicken broth over thighs and bring to a boil. Cover skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook the chicken thighs until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in hot oil until onion is soft, about 6 minutes. Stir chopped chiles, tomatoes, and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth into onion mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chiles and onion are tender, 20 minutes.
  • Mash chile-onion mixture to a sauce consistency. Remove chicken thighs from chicken broth, reserving 1/2 cup broth. Stir thighs into chile sauce; cook until chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread a thin layer of chile chicken sauce on the bottom of an 8-inch pie dish. Arrange a layer of corn tortillas over sauce, spread another layer of chile chicken sauce over the tortillas, and sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over sauce. Repeat layering process until all tortillas, sauce, and cheese are used, ending with a layer of cheese. Pour 1/2 cup reserved chicken broth over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • To save time, use store-bought enchilada sauce and taco seasoning.
  • If you don't have a blender, finely chop the onion and tomatoes before adding them to the sauce.
  • Be sure to drain the corn and black beans before adding them to the filling.
  • If you like a spicy pie, add a diced jalapeño pepper to the filling.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling for a more complex flavor.
  • Cover the pie with foil before baking to prevent the crust from over-browning.
  • Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
