Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lb chicken breasts (shredded)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chile powder
2 cups monterey jack cheese (shredded)
1 cup Mexican Queso Fresco (crumble cheese with fingers)
12 corn tortillas
red onion (chopped for topping)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (coarsely chopped)
1 small red onion (chopped)
4 dried ancho chiles (seeds and stems removed)
3 dried guajillo chiles (optional to use these, seeds and stems removed)
3 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon dry oregano
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Cook chicken in a large pot over medium heat with water. Cook for about 25 minutes.
  • Reserve some of the water the chicken was cooked in, about 2 cups of broth.
  • Shred chicken with two forks.
  • If using the onion (highly recommend) add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a skillet over medium high heat and saute for 2 minutes. Stir onions and now add the minced garlic to pan. Cook garlic for about 30 seconds over medium heat.
  • Add shredded chicken and broth of chicken.
  • Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper over chicken and stir mixture together. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken broth reduces a bit. You want to make sure chicken stays moist. Set aside.
  • Remove stems off of peppers. To remove seeds, flip peppers over to allow seeds to fall out.
  • Place in a saucepan with water to cover and heat on medium heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until peppers are soft.
  • Place peppers in a chopper or blender with the other 3 garlic cloves, oregano and 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth ( sauce will still have texture because of pepper skin).
  • Strain sauce into a bowl using a strainer so that the skin (and whatever seeds may still remain) is left behind. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Using a pair of tongs, coat tortillas one at a time lightly with sauce or use a cooking brush and coat tortillas on each side lightly.
  • In a non-stick skillet fry tortillas on each side for a few seconds. Add a little cooking spray if pan starts to get too sticky. Do not overcook or tortillas will fall apart.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add about a 1/3 cup of chicken down the middle of each tortilla, followed by monterey cheese.
  • Roll tortillas. Assemble and place each tortilla seam side down in a greased baking dish or casserole.
  • Add additional sauce on top of tortillas. Cover with additional monterey cheese
  • Cover casserole with aluminum and place in oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove foil and cook for another few minutes if you like to brown the cheese on top. This step is entirely up to you.
  • Once done, let the casserole rest for a few minutes and then add crumbled cheese, red onion (if using) and sprinkle chopped cilantro.
  • Serve 1 to 2 enchiladas per person. Enjoy!
