San Antonio Style Goat Cheese Enchiladas Recipes

SAN ANTONIO SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft. In a separate skillet, saute the squash in the remaining butter until soft. Alternatively, you can cook the squash in the microwave. Drain excess liquid from squash.
• Butter a casserole dish and then combine the onion, squash, cheese, green chiles, and soup in the casserole dish. Bake until heated through and cheese is well melted. Remove from oven, stir, and sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Return to the oven and bake 5 more minutes, or until bread crumb mixture is golden.

GOAT CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Dip tortillas in chile sauce to lightly coat both sides. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the goat cheese filling on each tortilla and roll up. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato-chile sauce into a medium, deep casserole dish. Arrange rolled tortillas in the casserole so they fit snugly. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the sauce over the enchiladas and top with the grated cheese. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Garnish with sour cream and green onions.
