Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 corn tortillas
vegetable oil for pan-frying
3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves, shredded
12 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
¾ cup minced onion
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.

These are good beef enchiladas from The Once A Month Cookbook. I also substitute the beef with leftover chicken or turkey too. Nice to have some in the freezer for quick dinners.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion, chopped
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, divided
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken liberally with taco seasoning.

  • Dice cooled chicken and transfer to a bowl. Drain remaining can of diced tomatoes; discard liquid and add tomatoes to the chicken.
  • Place about 1/4 cup chicken mixture in the middle of a tortilla. Add 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, then roll tortilla up. Place seam-side down in a baking pan. Repeat to make remaining enchiladas.
  • Cover enchiladas with sauce and spread remaining cheese over top. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have any green chiles on hand, you can substitute another type of pepper, such as poblano or jalapeño peppers.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tortillas, or they will become tough.
  • If you are using a store-bought enchilada sauce, be sure to taste it before adding it to the recipe. Some sauces can be quite spicy, so you may want to dilute it with some water or broth.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
