Chicken Enchilada
Posted in Recipes on 03/23/2010 06:56 pm by crazy_girl- 3 Tsp canola oil
- Meat of a 3-lb rotisserie chicken, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 Tsp ground cumin
- 1 Tsp chili powder
- 2 14-oz cans of diced tomato
- 16 corn tortillas
- 3 Tsp canola oil
- 1 Tsp flour
- 3 Tsp chili powder
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 14-oz can of tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar
- 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack
- salt & pepper
Now let’s play:
Heat up oil in a large saute pan. Add onion, garlic, jalapeno, cumin and chili powder. Saute till onion is translucent. Add chicken and diced tomato. Cook through. Then set aside. In a sauce pan, heat up the other 3 Tsp of oil and whisk in flour till well combined. Add the next five ingredients and cook through. Microwave tortillas for 30 seconds while setting oven temperature to 350F. Ladle some sauce into a large roasting pan to cover the bottom. Roll up a tortilla with about 4-6 Tsp of chicken mix and place it in the roasting pan. Repeat with the rest. Pour the rest of sauce over rolled-up tortillas and sprinkle cheese on the top. Transfer into the oven and cook till cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. Cool for 15 minutes then serve (about 8 servings).
After-play thoughts:
I don’t recommend making too many ahead of time as tortillas can get mushy after sitting in the sauce too long even when refrigerated.
