Enchilada Stack Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute pepper in oil for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes longer or until pepper is crisp-tender. Stir in the chicken, beans and onions; heat through. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm. , In the same skillet, combine enchilada and picante sauces. Coat both sides of one tortilla with sauce mixture; place in a greased 9-in. pie plate. Top with a third of the chicken mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining tortilla, sauce and cheese. , Cover and bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until heated through. Remove to a serving plate and cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream and lettuce if desired.

Steps:

• In an ungreased 2-qt. microwave-safe dish, combine the beef, onion and garlic. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, stirring once; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, water, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on high for 6 minutes, stirring once. , In an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. round dish, layer one tortilla, 1/2 cup meat sauce and 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat layers three times. Heat, uncovered, on high for 45 seconds or until the cheese is melted.

Steps:

• In a small frying pan, brown then drain the ground beef.
• In a small sauce pot, heat enchilada sauce.
• In another sauce pot, combine the black beans and corn. Cover and heat.
• I like to warm the tortillas in the microwave then put them in one of those handy plastic tortilla warmers. It's just better when they're warm and soft. (If you really want to go all out, try making your own tortillas with masa mix. You just add water and they taste sooooo much better!).
• Now just make an assembly line. I usually have the two sauce pans on the front burners and the rest on paper plates to the side. Pile on in this order: tortilla, meat, bean/corn combo, sauce, cheese. Repeat so you have two layers. Yummy and quick!
• Some other good toppings include sour cream, guacamole and olives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray square 8x8 baking pan with pam (the garlic one is good).

Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds, then add the chiles, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 3 cups water. Simmer until the pork is tender, about 1 hour. Combine the flour and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth, then whisk into the sauce and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the red sauce: Process the chili powder, garlic and 5 cups water in a blender until smooth. Season the flour with garlic salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the beef in the flour, then add to the skillet to brown on all sides. Pour in the chili powder mixture and simmer until the beef is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Make the enchiladas: Preheat the broiler. Place 4 tortillas on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each with cheese, then top with green sauce on one side and red on the other. Repeat to make two more layers. Top the stacks with more cheese and broil until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mist a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and fry the eggs as desired, then season with salt and pepper. Top each enchilada stack with lettuce, tomatoes and a fried egg.

• Add all remaining ingredients and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
• In crock pot, place two pieces of foil folded to create a "dish". One six inch wide strip one way and another the other direction works well for me.
• Ladle a small amount of filling onto foil, and place a tortilla on the top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat layers ending with last of the filling. There should be about 6 layers.

• Spray with non stick cooking spray an 11 x 7 (if you want thick layers) or a 9X13 (if you want thinner layers - more tortillas). Cut the tortillas up to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Layer the meat mixture, layer of cheese and then a layer of tortillas, meat, layer tortillas and then top with cheese to cover up the tortillas.
