GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, green onions and green chiles. Set the bowl aside.
• To make the enchilada sauce combine the green chile enchilada sauce and sour cream. Whisk until smooth.
• Next, grease a 7x11 casserole dish and add about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce to the bottom of the pan. This will be a thin layer, just enough to lightly cover the bottom of the baking dish.
• To assemble the enchiladas, spoon the chicken mixture into a tortilla and tightly roll (see notes in post for tips to prevent cracking). Lay the enchilada seam side down. Repeat until all the chicken mixture has been used.
• Top the rolls with the remaining enchilada sauce, top with the shredded cheese and bake 25 minutes until golden brown.

GREEN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Filet chicken breasts in half so that they can cook faster. Add 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 3 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, bay leaves, and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
• While the chicken is cooking, fry the tortillas in hot oil for a few seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9"x13" baking dish. Pour ½ cup of enchilada sauce into the baking dish.
• Shred cooled chicken and add to a large bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, ¾ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon oregano. Crush 3 cloves garlic and add to the bowl; stir. Add softened and cubed cream cheese, drained diced green chiles, 2 cups shredded jack cheese, and one cup enchilada sauce. Blend until the cream cheese melts into the mixture.
• Fill each tortilla with approximately ¼ cup of chicken enchilada filling. Fold the tortilla over the filling and place enchiladas seam-side down into the prepared pan.
• Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas then cover the pan with foil; seal. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove pan of enchiladas from the oven and cover with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake, uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Rest for 15 minutes (not you, the enchiladas). Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, salsa, Creamy Guacamole, and sour cream.

BEEF ENCHILADAS WITH GREEN SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the Green Enchilada Sauce according to the instructions found here. For the enchilada filling: Place the ground beef in a saute pan over medium-high heat and sprinkle with kosher salt. Sear the meat well, drain, and then add in the diced onion and garlic. Add the spices. Cook 2 minutes to soften the vegetables. Add in water and cook 5-10 minutes to a saucy consistency. The beef filling should be moist but not runny with water. Continue simmering if you need to evaporate excess water. Add the tomato sauce. Simmer 5 minutes or so and season to taste. Remove from the heat and cool. In a saute pan, add a little oil and fry each corn tortilla for several seconds on both sides. Remove the tortilla to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with the remaining corn tortillas. This warms them for the filling and makes them rollable. Place about 1/4 c. of green enchilada sauce in a large casserole dish. Lay a tortilla flat and fill with about 2-3 T. of filling. Roll up and place into the casserole dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until your casserole dish is full. Pour the green enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and cover with cheese of your choice. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove and top with pickled jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, or your favorite toppings! Serve hot with beans and rice!
