Steps:

• I HAVE TWO WAYS --
• **********The First way**********.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Shred chicken into a medium sized bowl (This is probably my least favorite thing to do).
• Add Mexican seasoning, salt and pepper, basil, and green chiles to shredded chicken.
• Place oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
• Place 3 tortillas on a paper towel, place in microwave for 20 sec.
• Immediately, start putting the chicken mixture into the tortilla, roll up, place in oil.
• Flip over when one side is light brown.
• Remove from skillet, tilt the rolled tortilla to drain excess oil onto paper towel, place in large pan.
• Repeat process until all the chicken is gone.
• Empty the entire Green Sauce on top of the rolled tortillas.
• Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover entire pan. (I like mine SUPER cheesy!).
• Lightly season with mexican seasoning.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.
• *******The Second Way*******.
• This method entirely omits the oil and frying.
• Grease the bottom of the baking pan with Pam.
• Place 8 corn tortillas on the bottom of the pan.
• Place half of the chicken mixture on top of that.
• Pour between 1/4 to 1/2 of the green sauce can onto the mixture.
• Place 8 more tortillas on top.
• Place remaining chicken on top of that.
• Pour rest of the green sauce.
• Cover with cheese and season with Mexican seasoning.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix cream cheese with 2 cups salsa and 2 chopped green onions in a bowl until thoroughly combined; lightly stir 2 cups shredded Cheddar and 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese into cream cheese mixture. Spoon a scant 1/2 cup of cheese filling in a line down the center of each tortilla and roll tortilla into a log around the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese filling. Place rolled tortillas into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Spread top of enchiladas with remaining 1 cup salsa. Lightly mix remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl and spread over the salsa. Sprinkle with remaining green onions. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute rice with butter or margarine. Add chicken broth and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and tender. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cube 3/4 pound of the cheese; shred the remaining 1/4 pound cheese and set aside. Combine chicken, 3/4 pound cubed cheese, corn, cooled rice and 1/4 cup sauce in a large bowl. Mix together. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 2 minutes and spread another 1/4 cup sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place a little of the chicken mixture on each tortilla and roll up. Place filled tortillas (as many as will fit) in the baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 pound shredded cheese and top with any remaining sauce, pouring evenly over all. (Freeze remaining tortillas for future green sauce enchiladas!)
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Melt butter in a medium sauce pan, and sprinkle in flour. Stirring constantly, allow flour to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly stir in half-and -half. Simmer, stirring frequently about 5 minutes, or until thickened. Add chiles,1/2 cup onion and cayenne, and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
• Mix cheese and medium minced onion. Heat oil in a skillet,(you only need maybe half an inch) then dip the tortillas in hot oil, one at a time, for about 5 seconds each. Stack them on top of each other on a plate, covered with paper towels as you go.
• Scoop cheese mixture (about half a cup or so per tortilla) onto tortillas, and roll up, placing seam side down in a 13 x 9 inches baking pan. When all tortillas are rolled, pour the green chile sauce over all, and top with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered in preheated oven, for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Great when garnished generously with sour cream.

Steps:
