Mexican Green Chile, Chicken, and Cheese Enchiladas 🌯🧀
Ingredients:
For the Enchiladas:
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
8-10 corn tortillas
2 cups green chile enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Olive oil (for frying tortillas)
For the Green Chile Enchilada Sauce (if making homemade):
2 cups green chiles (canned or roasted)
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Enchilada Sauce (if making homemade):
Sauté: In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
2. Prepare the Tortillas:
Heat Tortillas: In a skillet, add a little olive oil and heat over medium heat. Briefly fry each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Drain on paper towels.
3. Assemble the Enchiladas:
Fill Tortillas: Spread a spoonful of green chile sauce on a tortilla, add some shredded chicken, a sprinkle of cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4. Bake:
Add Sauce and Cheese: Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour remaining green chile sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
5. Serve:
Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve with extra sour cream or avocado slices if desired.
