Enchiladassuiza Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the onion and saute until soft, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and chicken broth.
• Add the chiles, garlic, salt to taste and cumin and simmer about 15 minutes to blend the flavors of the sauce.
• Heat the oven to 350°F.
• Grease a rectangular baking dish.
• Put about 1/4 inch oil in a large frying pan and set over medium heat.
• When hot, fry the tortillas briefly.
• (Do not let them get crisp!).
• Drain on paper towels.
• Dip in the sauce.
• Put some of the chicken in a strip on each tortilla.
• Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons cheese.
• Roll up enchiladas and put in prepared baking dish seam down.
• Pour remaining sauce over top, then the cream. (I know this seems like a lot of cream and it does look like it might turn out runny, but after cooking it settles in and you end up with terrific, moist enchiladas and not an excess of sauce).
• Sprinkle with remaining cheese and scallions.
• Bake about 20 minutes (30 minutes if you are starting with cold chicken).

Steps:

• Prepare salsa verde: Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onion until soft. Stir in the flour. Add the broth, then add the chiles, garlic, salt, and cumin. Simmer about 15 minutes to blend flavors, then set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
• In a heavy skillet, lightly fry tortillas in shallow oil, being careful not to make them too crisp to roll. Combine the cheeses and keep 1/2 cup aside for topping. Dip each tortilla in salsa verde (both sides.) Place 2 heaping tablespoons chicken and about 2 tablespoons cheese down the center of each; roll and place seam side down in a shallow dish.
• After all the rolled tortillas are in the dish, spoon additional salsa verde over them and then cover evenly with heavy cream. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese mixture, and with the green onions.
• Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with the olives, cherry tomatoes, and with additional salsa on the side.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from water; transfer to a plate. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite size pieces. You should have about 3 cups.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to broil with a rack in the position closest to the heating element. Arrange tomatillos, poblano, onion wedges, garlic, and jalapeno in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, flipping once halfway through, until blackened in places and beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender; add cilantro, sour cream, 3/4 cup water, lime juice, and salt and puree until smooth.
• Turn oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 cup enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of an 8-by-12-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with 1 cup enchilada sauce. Place about 1/3 cup of chicken in the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas to enclose filling. Arrange enchiladas in a single layer in prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top, then sprinkle evenly with cheese.
• Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve with cilantro leaves, chopped onion, and sliced jalapeno.

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a medium pot with 3 cups water, the broth, garlic, bay leaves and cilantro; season with salt. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer, turning the chicken as needed, until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool. Discard the bay leaves and cilantro and reserve the broth and garlic. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Put the tomatoes and chiles on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil, turning, until charred, about 12 minutes. Wrap in the foil to catch any juices, then cool slightly. Peel the chiles and transfer to a blender with the tomatoes and collected juices. Remove the garlic from the broth, add to the blender and puree until smooth. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and stir in the tomato-chile puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick, about 15 minutes. Stir in 3 cups of the reserved broth and bring to a simmer. Partially cover and cook about 20 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt; keep the sauce warm. Discard the chicken skin and shred the meat. Toss the chicken with the crema and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Soak the sliced onion in a bowl of cold water while you prepare the enchiladas. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread 1 cup of the tomato-chile sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry a tortilla until puffed, about 15 seconds per side, turning with tongs. Quickly spoon 2 tablespoons chicken onto the tortilla, roll it up and put seam-side down in the baking dish. Fry and fill the remaining tortillas, arranging them side by side in the dish. Pour 2 cups of the tomato-chile sauce over the enchiladas and top with the queso fresco. Bake until warmed through, about 20 minutes. Drain the sliced onion and scatter over the enchiladas. Divide among plates and top with more cilantro, sauce and crema, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the tomatillos, onion and both chiles in a medium heavy saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the tomatillos turn an olive-green color, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the tomatillos, onions and chiles to a blender. Add the garlic and cilantro and blend until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Mix the Mexican crema and heavy cream together in a small bowl and season with salt. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas until golden but still pliable, about 10 seconds per side, using more oil if needed. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Place the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the shredded chicken evenly among the tortillas and roll up each like a cigar. Spread 1/3 cup of the sauce in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the enchiladas in 1 layer, seam-side down, snugly inside the dish. Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas. Drizzle the cream mixture on top and sprinkle the cheese all over.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place half of the cream cheese and the onions in small bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended; set aside for later use.
• Place remaining cream cheese, the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, green chilies and cumin in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; set aside. Heat oil in medium skillet. Add tortillas; cook just until warmed. Spoon 2 Tbsp. of the cheese mixture onto each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish; top with the enchilada sauce.
• Bake 20 min. or until heated through. Top with the reserved cream cheese mixture and the olives.

Steps:

• Line a griddle or large frying pan with aluminum foil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add tomatillos, onion, chiles, and garlic. Grill until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Allow vegetables to cool slightly.
• Transfer grilled vegetables to a blender with water, cream and 1/2 cup Chihuahua cheese; blend until smooth. Season with chicken bouillon granules; add additional water to thin sauce, if necessary,
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a small drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas in hot oil for a few seconds, one by one, until soft but not crispy. Add more oil as needed. Place cooked tortillas on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Pour 1/3 the sauce into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Fill tortillas with equal amounts of shredded chicken, roll up, and arrange in a single layer over the sauce. Pour remaining sauce on top and cover with remaining 1 cup mild Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until melted, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large saucepan. Add 6 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 garlic cloves and peppercorns. Boil. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken. Pull meat from bones; shred; set aside. Place tomatillos and chiles in a saucepan; cover with water; boil over medium-high heat 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Transfer to a blender; add remaining 2 cloves garlic and cilantro; blend until smooth, adding liquid if necessary. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add tomatillo-chile puree; reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring constantly, 10 minutes or until sauce reduces to about 1 cup. Reduce heat, add remaining 1 teaspoon salt and sour cream. Stir about 1 minute. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Heat a skillet over medium heat; warm tortillas 10 seconds per side. Divide shredded chicken evenly among tortillas; roll up. Spread 1/3 sauce in a 9" baking dish. Arrange enchiladas in 1 layer, seam side down. Cover with rest of sauce; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 30 minutes or until cheese starts to brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat a medium (10-inch) ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium. Add oil, poblano, and 1 cup onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini; continue cooking until vegetables are tender and golden in places, 10 to 12 minutes more.
• Remove from heat; transfer mixture to a large plate. Pour 1 cup salsa into skillet. Working one at a time, dip tortillas in salsa, turning to evenly coat both sides; transfer to plate with vegetables.
• Layer tortillas and vegetables evenly in skillet. Top evenly with mozzarella, crema, and remaining 1/2 cup salsa. Bake until bubbly and browning in places, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve with lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, and remaining 1/4 cup onion.

Steps:

• Cook and chop chicken into small pieces (I usually boil it to remove any fat, and then cube it) drain chilies and combine with cooked chicken with 3/4 bottle of salsa in a bowl.
• Set up your preparation area (this is how I do it).
• Pour 1 container of the light cream into a pie pan, and mix in some salt.
• Set cream pan next to bowl of chicken and a large plate near the stove.
• Spray a rectangular baking pan/dish with non-stick cooking spray, and preheat oven to 350°F; add oil to small frying pan and heat it while you set up a stack of paper towels next to the stove.
• Begin assembly of dish!
• Fry 1 tortilla in oil (turn it over -- ) until bubbly, but still limp, remove from oil and set on paper towels to remove excess grease.
• Dip fried tortilla in cream, then set on plate and fill with large spoonful of chicken mix.
• Roll up tortilla and place seam side down in baking pan.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• (This will go MUCH FASTER if you have one person to fry the tortillas and another to fill them-we always made it a family thing).
• Pour remaining cream over the pan of enchiladas and top with remaining salsa and cheese.
• Bake in 350°F oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes (cream will thicken).
• Serve with spatula and knife.
• Enjoy the Dee-licious reward for all your effort!
