Enchilada Recipe

This recipe is always a party favorite! I make it every year for me and my girl friends Annual Christmas Party and they love it! It is a very easy recipe that anyone can make. If you can cook chicken, then you can do it!






What You"ll need :

A pack of corn tortillas
1 Can of Juanita's 28 oz can of enchilada sauce ( but you can use any kind you want)
2 whole chicken breasts (but you can use shredded or ground beef, or cheese)
1 8oz can of Embasa ( or any chunky salsa, canned or not)
2 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (jack or mild cheddar works best)
1 can of sliced olives
1/2 a sliced onion
1 sliced green bell pepper

seasonings:
taco seasoning
Seasoning salt


Step One

Slice up the Chicken breast into small pieces. Heat up the pan with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add the chopped up onions, bell peppers, Embasa (or salsa) and chopped chicken, taco seasoning and a dash of seasoning salt, and 3 tbsp. of the Enchilada sauce in to the pan. Mix all the seasoning so its coating the chicken and vegetables and let it cook on a medium heat for about 15 min. or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step Two

Step two is messy! If you have acrylic nails, wear gloves because enchilada sauce stains. Also, make sure you are in clothes and are using dish rags that you don't care about!

Your going to need to set up a little station. You"ll need to pour the enchilada sauce into a round shallow dish or a wide Tupperware, something that a corn tortilla can lay flat in. Have the Chicken and Vegetable filling within reach with a ladle waiting in the pan.

Take a round shallow pan set it to a very low heat. Heat up 4 tbsp. of oil. One by one, you are going to cook each tortilla on each side for about 15 seconds. Don't cook the tortillas in the oil for too long or you'll make taco shells! :p

After you cook each tortilla, dip it in the enchilada sauce on either side so the tortilla is coated completely in sauce. Place the tortilla in a baking dish, something similar to a casserole dish, and spoon enough of the chicken mixture so that the tortilla will roll up with ease and without breaking.

Roll up all you tortillas with chicken until the Pan is full. Don't worry if a few tear because the sauce and cheese will hold them together!

Step 3

Lastly, preheat your oven to 350 F. Take your shredded cheese and olives, and sprinkle them all over the top of your enchiladas. Place them in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted.
Top with Sour cream and enjoy!
