Easy Bake Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbs vegetable oil
- 8 Corn tortillas (king size preferably)
- 1 lb of boneless/skinless chicken breast or tenders
- 6 cups of shredded cheese (I like to have a cup or two of spicy cheese for some added
punch of spice.)
- 1 can of Las Palmas green chile sauce
- 1 red onion, diced
- a jar of jalapeƱos (if you like added spice these are a MUST... For a more tame meal,
there is no need to add these!)
- 1 Tbs chile pepper
- 1 Tbs cayenne pepper
- 1 Tbs black pepper
- 1 Tbs oregano
Directions:
To prepare chicken:
1. Slice chicken breasts or tenders into slices about an inch thick.
2. Mix together chile pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and oregano. Season the
chicken by sprinkling the mixture of spices onto the chicken... The more you season,
the spicer the chicken.
3. Heat 1 Tbs of oil in a frying pan over medium heat until pan is hot.
4. Place chicken in pan and cook until the chicken has no pink visible.
5. After cooking, place chicken aside.
Assembling the dish:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a frying pan, place the remaining 2 Tbs and heat over medium high heat until pan is
hot. Place one tortilla at a time in the pan for 10 seconds on each side to soften the
tortillas.
3. Cover the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish with green chile sauce so that the enchiladas
do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Place the remaining green chile sauce in deep
dish, wide enough for your tortillas.
4. Take one tortilla and dip it into your dish of green chile sauce so that the tortilla
is coated on both sides.
5. Place the tortilla on a plate and add chicken, cheese, diced onions,and jalapeƱos
to the center of the tortilla. Make sure not to over stuff because rolling the
tortilla will prove to be difficult. Once rolled, place side by side in the baking
dish. Don't be afraid to pack them snuggly so that none of your enchiladas unroll
themselves. :-)
6. Once your baking dish is full, drizzle the enchiladas with some of the remaining
green chile sauce so that they don't dry out while baking in the oven. Smother
with cheese and pop them into the oven! Bake for 20 minutes. After taking them out of
the oven, let them cool for 5-10 minutes so that slicing into your dish is easier! :-)
