This is something I put together one night when I was trying to use up some random ingredients I had on hand. Came out really 'company good'. Soooo not good for a diet though. Makes a large pan.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
½ onion, diced
½ cup diced mild green chiles
1 (28 ounce) can green chile enchilada sauce
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Run 1 tortilla through the hot oil until softened, 2 to 3 seconds per side; transfer to a plate. Layer a dry tortilla on top of the cooked tortilla on the plate. Cook another tortilla in the hot oil and stack on the dry tortilla. Repeat process until all the tortillas are used.
  • Cook and stir chicken and onion in the same skillet, adding more oil if needed, until chicken is 2/3 done, about 10 minutes. Add green chiles; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and onions are tender, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Layer tortillas in a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with chicken mixture, enchilada sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, ending with sauce and cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool until set, 5 to 10 minutes.

STACKED CAULIFLOWER ENCHILADA WITH GREEN CHILE SAUCE



Stacked Cauliflower Enchilada With Green Chile Sauce image

This recipe sounds so interesting to me that I decided to post it. If cauliflower can be prepared like mashed potatoes, then why not an enchilada! This recipe is designed for the slow cooker and comes from The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook. Note: You can vary the type of vegetables according to the season and what's in your garden or market at any given time. The recipe states that this dish is even better as leftovers.

Time 5h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head cauliflower
1 white onion, cut vertically into 8 pieces
1 cup black california olive, pitted and sliced
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
6 -9 corn tortillas
1/2 lb smoked cheddar cheese (or regular cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Trim and core the cauliflower, then wash and slice the head vertically (you will be placing it in layers in the casserole, so you want the pieces fairly thin). Pull the onion layers apart. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, onion, olives, tomatoes and beans using your hands.
  • Oil the inside of the slow cooker insert. Place 2-3 overlapping tortillas in the bottom of the insert. Add a layer of half the mixed vegetables and top it with a generous sprinkling of cheese (about one-third of the cheese). Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the layer.
  • Add another layer of tortillas, then the remaining vegetables and another one-third of the cheese. Pour on another 1/2 cup of sauce. Finish with an additional layer of tortillas and the remaining 2 1/2 cups sauce. (Even though you may appear to have an excess of sauce, much of it is absorbed into the tortillas and vegetables as they cook.).
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the cauliflower is tender. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese, cover, and cook an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the contents of the insert to sit for 10-15 minutes to set, then carefully scoop up generous individual servings of the enchilada into bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
