Yield 12 shells

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 shells jumbo pasta shell
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup white onion, chopped
¼ cup green chile
1 cup chicken, shredded
½ teaspoon cumin
½ tablespoon garlic
pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ cup queso fresco
½ cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon fresh scallions, for garnish
10 oz green enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside to cool.
  • Pour the oil in a pan, then add the onions and cook on medium heat until softened. Add the green chiles, chicken, and spices and stir to combine. Cook on low heat for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Place chicken mixture in a bowl. Add ricotta, queso fresco, and monterey jack and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Stuff each shell with a large spoonful of the mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Coat the bottom of a baking dish with a thin layer of green enchilada sauce. Place the pasta shells in the dish in a single layer.
  • Cover with the rest of the enchilada sauce and some additional queso fresco and monterey jack.
  • Bake for 30 minutes (or until the cheese has melted and the sauce begins to bubble around the edges). Top with scallions.
  • Enjoy!

These shells were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.

These stuffed shells were a complete disaster. The shells were mushy and the filling was dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The shells were a bit too soft for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I might try baking them for a few minutes longer next time.

These shells were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
