Green Enchilada Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan, place the olive oil, onions and garlic and saute until soft.
• Add the broth,tomatillos, cumin, chili powder and green chilies and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Continue cooking until the tomatillos are soft.
• Cool until room temperature.
• Using a blender of food processer, blend until smooth.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, saute the onions with the butter over medium-low heat until the onions are nice and golden brown.
• In a small saucepan, combine the green enchilada sauce with the green chilies and heat until very warm.
• In the microwave or in the oven (on a baking sheet), melt some cheese all over the top of each tortilla so that it covers most of the surface area.
• To serve, stack three cheesy tortillas on top of one another. Spoon green sauce over the top and add store-bought salsa, sour cream and cilantro as needed. Delish and so, so easy!

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:

• 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.
