Chocolate Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the red onion in cold water, breaking up the rings and removing any white membrane between the layers. Drain well. Toss the red onions, vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, turning once, until golden brown on two sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the yellow onions to the same pot, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ancho and pasilla chiles, bay leaves, raisins, broth and 1 tablespoon salt. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover and simmer until the pork is falling apart and easily shreds, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Remove the bay leaves and discard. Transfer the pork to a medium bowl. Reserve the cooking liquid.
• Let the hot cooking liquid cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl and repeat with any remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the chile sauce over the pork. Use a potato masher to smash the pork into the sauce; it should fall apart completely. Remove any remaining large pieces of fat and discard. Stir to combine and season with salt if necessary.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 1 cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry the tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Drain on paper towels.
• Dip both sides of each tortilla in the chile sauce just to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup of the chile sauce in a 6-inch strip down the center of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• Spoon 1/4 cup shredded pork across the center of a tortilla. Fold one side over the filling, then roll up the tortilla. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (the enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in the pan). Top with any remaining sauce in your bowl or leftover on the baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the sauce bubbles, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted but not brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Top the enchiladas with the pickled red onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then shred into small bite-sized pieces.
• For the mole: Reconstitute the dried chiles by soaking them in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain and set aside. Toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until dry, crisp and golden. Tear into pieces and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a blender with the chiles, tortillas, peanut butter and oregano. Pour the chicken stock over and blend until very smooth. Then transfer the sauce to a medium saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the chocolate. Season the mole with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of mole for garnishing the enchiladas, the rest will be used for dipping the tortillas.
• To assemble the enchiladas: Fill a medium saute pan half way with oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, dip 1 tortilla at a time and fry just until soft and heated through, a few seconds. Lift out, let the excess oil drip off and then dip the fried tortilla directly into the warm mole (which should be right next to the pan for easy dipping) and transfer to a plate. Working quickly, put 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken in the center, being careful not to over fill. Roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling and place in a serving dish seam- side down. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and place them side-by- side. Pour the reserved mole over the top. (This recipe can be tightly wrapped and frozen for 3 weeks at this stage. To reheat: Preheat oven to 350degrees F, unwrap and bake until sauce is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes.) To serve, drizzle with a little sour cream and sprinkle with queso.

Steps:

• Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
• Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
• Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.
• Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.

Steps:

• Note: The amounts for the ingredients are up to the user.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• While oven is preheating, use a chef's knife to chip chocolate off the block, or crush pistoles into small pieces. This is a fun step that creates a lot of chocolate shavings that can be fun for guests to help clean up by eating. The irregular shapes are good too because they create depth of flavor in the final product due to varying masses of chocolate tucked away in the burrito's rolls.
• Zest the lemon and set aside. Mincing is not necessary.
• Crush the walnuts between your palms or gently break with a rolling pin in a towel. Set aside.
• Put granulated sugar in a bowl for sprinkling onto the burrito.
• Spread 1 phyllo sheet on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Top with another phyllo sheet and brush it with butter. Top with a last sheet, but don't butter it on top. I just use 3 sheets but if you like thicker burritos, sprinkle on sugar and add 3 more sheets after brushing on the butter.
• Sprinkle on chocolate, zest, and nuts, to taste. Be sure to allow room for rolling without bursting the roll. Sugar isn't really necessary inside the roll but a little can be nice.
• Roll up the dessert just like a burrito: tuck in sides toward the front then roll up. Also, a straight roll like sushi is fine.
• Sprinkle phyllo with sugar, put on a baking sheet (no greasing or parchment necessary), and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until just barely browned.
• Remove, wait 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces with a sharp knife. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place chocolate bar on flour tortilla.
• Wrap by folding the side closest to you over the chocolate bar and fold in sides, roll up away from you making a burrito fold. Make sure they are folded tight so no chocolate will melt out of the sides when you are frying.
• Place enough oil to coat bottom of non stick skillet. Depending on size of skillet you use, is how much oil you need. Heat oil. I have an electric glass top stove, and I turned it up to medium heat to heat the oil, and then turned it down between medium and low. This may splatter grease so make sure no kiddios are near by!
• Fry each enchilada on each side to brown.
• Place on paper towels to absorb grease.
• Place on plate.
• Scoop ice cream on top.
• Drizzle chocolate syrup over top.
• Dust with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high high heat. Saute onion until tender. Stir in garlic, oregano, cumin and cinnamon; saute for a few minutes.
• Stir in flour and chili powder, stirring until sauce thickens. Slowly whisk in chicken broth; reduce until sauce reaches desired consistency. Stir in chocolate until melted and well blended.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add mashed banana, canola oil, and vanilla. Fold in flour and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Place a dollop of batter into each tortilla, then roll up in a cylinder to form an "enchilada"; place into prepared baking dish.
• Bake "enchiladas" in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a small bowl using the microwave. Drizzle over the "enchiladas" as soon as they come out of the oven.

Steps:

• To Make Chicken Mixture: In a medium skillet heat oil. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add tomato, chicken and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until heated through. Set aside.
• To Make Cheese Mixture: Mix together rancherito cheese and Romano cheese.
• Pour tomato sauce into a shallow dish or bowl. In a separate medium skillet, heat oil. One by one, dip corn tortillas in tomato sauce, covering both sides. Then slip carefully into hot oil in skillet. Fry for only about 30 seconds on each side. Set on clean dish and fill with chicken mix and a sprinkle of cheese mix. Roll up. Repeat until all tortillas are filled OR filling runs out, whichever comes first. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato and sour cream and serve.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Saute onion in oil until tender.
• Add garlic, oregano, cumin and cinnamon; saute together for a few minutes.
• Stir in flour and chili powder, coating onion mixture.
• Slowly whisk in vegetable (or chicken) stock; reduce until sauce thickens, whisking frequently (this will take about 30 minutes).
• Stir in semisweet chocolate until melted and smooth.
• Assemble enchiladas: Steam or soften tortillas in a lightly greased skillet (although I've been known to skip that step).
• Roll up 1/2 cup (or whatever fits your tortillas) of cheese in each corn tortilla.
• Sprinkle with green onions and pour sauce over.
• Cover baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
• (Oaxacan cheese takes slightly longer to melt.).

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and butter over simmering water in top of a double boiler.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the milk into a medium-size bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch, cocoa and 1/4 cup of the sugar.
• In a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, scald remaining 3 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of sugar by heating to just under a boil, when it begins to foam. Remove from heat, and whisk hot liquid into the cornstarch mixture. Return to heat and, while constantly scraping bottom of pan with a whisk, cook until tiny bubbles boil up for 10 seconds, no more.
• Put eggs and egg yolks in a bowl. Whisking vigorously, slowly drizzle in one cup of hot liquid. Pour everything back into saucepan. Simmer until tiny bubbles boil up again, constantly scraping bottom of pan with a whisk. Stir in Kahlua. Strain pudding, and fold in the melted chocolate and butter. Cover with wax paper to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside for one hour. Refrigerate until chilled.
• To make enchiladas, first make the crepes. Put flour, cocoa, sugar, milk and eggs in the bowl of a food processor, or blender and run at high speed for one minute. Scrape down the sides, and run for another 10 seconds. Let batter rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Place a nonstick saute pan or crepe pan over medium-high heat for one minute. Remove it from heat and, holding it with one hand, pour 1/4 cup of the batter into it. Quickly tilt it so a thin film of batter coats pan's bottom. Return pan to heat, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the top looks set but not dry and you can lift crepe with a rubber spatula and then your fingers. (Cover your free hand with a paper towel to catch finished crepe.)
• Place crepes cooked-side-up on a sheet of waxed paper, and repeat with rest of batter. You should have 8 to 10.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a cookie sheet.
• Place a crepe, cooked side up, on a dry work surface. Drop about 1/4 cup of pudding in the center. Spread it from side to side, leaving one-inch borders. Fold bottom edge over the center of the pudding. Next, fold the right side of the crepe back to the middle; repeat with the left side. Fold the last section toward the middle to make the enchilada. Repeat with remaining crepes. These may be prepared up to a day in advance.
• Place each enchilada, seam side down, on buttered pan. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes to warm them. Serve with strawberry almond salsa.

Steps:

• For the crepes: whisk together all of the dry ingredients, then whisk together all of the wet ingredients.
• Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until a batter is formed.
• Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and spray with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Pour 3 tablespoons of crepe batter into the pan, lifting and tilting the pan to quickly coat the bottom with the batter.
• Place the pan back on the heat for about 45 seconds to 1 minute and cook undisturbed until the batter looks dry.
• Using a spatula, loosen one side of the crepe and carefully lift the crepe out of the pan with your fingers and flip over.
• Cook 1 minute more and remove from the pan to a plate.
• Repeat with remaining batter, stacking the crepes on the plate.
• When finished crepes are cool, cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.
• To make the filling: Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add rum and chopped bananas, gently stirring to incorporate.
• Remove from heat and cool.
• To assemble enchiladas: Place one crepe on work surface, spoon 3-4 Tbl of the filling down the center and loosely roll like an enchilada.
• Repeat until all crepes are filled.
• Plate crepes and drizzle with chocolate sauce (Recipe #68358) then garnish with white chocolate shavings and strawberries.
