ENCHILADAS WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE



Enchiladas With Pumpkin Sauce image

I found this recipe in the Star Tribune last weekend and thought I'd give it a try. The pumpkin sauce is very creamy and luscious- it would be great with pasta I think. I made a few changes- added a can of corn to the filling and added an additional 15 0z. can of pumpkin to the sauce after I realized the original recipe made a thinner sauce than I wanted (alternatively, I could have added less water, but it was too late). This is really great comfort food!

ENCHILADAS WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE



Enchiladas with Pumpkin Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Bake     Roast     Pumpkin

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 roast or rotisserie chicken (recipe for roast chicken on page 351), skin removed, meat shredded
6 scallions, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin purée
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 jalapeño chile, quartered (remove ribs and seeds for less heat, if desired)
1 teaspoon chili powder
8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) grated sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and scallions. Season generously with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • In a blender, purée the pumpkin, garlic, jalapeño, chili powder, 2 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth (hold the top firmly as the blender will be quite full). Pour 1 cup of the sauce in the bottom of an 8-inch square (or other shallow 2-quart) baking dish.
  • Lay the tortillas on a work surface; mound the chicken mixture on half of each tortilla, dividing evenly. Roll up each tortilla into a tight log; place seam side down over the sauce in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining sauce on top; sprinkle with the cheese. Place the dish on a baking sheet; bake until the cheese is golden and the sauce is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • planning ahead
  • This dish can be assembled up to 8 hours ahead of time; refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to bake (add a few minutes to the cooking time).

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a more vibrant flavor than canned puree. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a blender or food processor.
  • Don't overcook the tortillas: Overcooked tortillas will be tough and chewy. Cook them just long enough to soften them, about 30 seconds per side.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in enchiladas, so don't skimp on quality. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
  • Don't overstuff the enchiladas: Overstuffed enchiladas will be difficult to roll and will fall apart easily. Fill them just enough so that they are plump and can be easily rolled.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are hot and bubbly: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With their creamy pumpkin filling, melted cheese, and flavorful enchilada sauce, these enchiladas are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give pumpkin enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
