Green Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Pour 2 tablespoons green enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13x9 glass baking dish.
• In large bowl, mix shredded chicken, green chilis, cream cheese, onions, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, and 2 tablespoons of the green enchilada sauce.
• Spoon mixture evenly into corn tortillas and roll up.
• Line up tortillas, touching each other, fitting as many tortillas as you can (but not on top of eachother.).
• Pour remaining enchilada sauce over rolled tortillas.
• Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over sauce and cover the 13x9 with foil.
• Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 40 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let sit at room temp for 10 minutes before serving.

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:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir 1 cup sour cream into salsa.
• Dip each tortilla into sauce to coat both sides.
• Spoon 1/4 cup of the chicken or beans onto each tortilla; roll up.
• Place seam sides down in ungreased rectangular baking dish.
• Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake uncovered about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Serve with sour cream if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Lightly coat with oil or cooking spray a large 9x13 baking dish.
• In a large bowl combine, chicken, 1 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, 1/1/2 cup of pepper jack cheese, diced green chillies, 2 cups of sour cream, garlic powder, chili powder and onion powder.
• Mix until well combined.
• To assemble, have a large bowl ready with the green enchilada sauce in it and a plate to roll the enchiladas on.
• Take a flour tortilla and dip it into the bowl containing the sauce until it's all covered.
• Then place on the plate and almost on the edge of one side of the tortilla add 1/4- 1/2 cup of the chicken filling depending on how full you want them to be.
• Take the tortilla with the filling on it and roll it into a tube and lay in greased baking dish.
• Repeat until you have either no room left in your pan or your out of filling.
• With the remaining sauce pour over enchiladas and smooth out on top until there is a thin layer of sauce.
• With the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream spread evenly over the top of enchiladas.
• Take remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar and 1/2 cup of pepper jack cheese and sprinkle evenly over top of enchiladas.
• Cover with foil for the first 25 minutes of cooking.
• Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted on top.

Steps:

• Make the salsa: Put the tomatillos, jalapenos, and onion in a saucepan with the vinegar and water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and poach until the tomatillos are soft, about 10 minutes. Drain. Put the vegetables in a blender, add the cumin, and puree. Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt, and pulse to combine. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the poblano peppers directly over the flame on a gas stove and cook, turning with tongs, until the skin is charred and blackened. (Or, if you have an electric stove, put the chiles on a baking sheet and broil, turning with tongs, until the skin is blackened.) Skin the peppers; then seed, core, and dice them.
• Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the cumin and cook 1 minute. Then sprinkle on the flour and cook, stirring, 1 more minute. Gradually pour in the stock, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer, stirring to make sure the flour doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan; the liquid will thicken. Fold in the chicken, diced peppers, and cilantro, and season well with salt and pepper.
• To assemble the dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Get your self a large baking dish. Dip a tortilla into the tomatilla salsa and put it on a cutting board. Put a big scoop of the chicken mixture in the center, sprinkle with a little of the cheese, and roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling. Use a spatula to place it seam side down in the baking dish. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and put them in the baking dish. Pour the remaining tomatilla salsa over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes until bubbly and cracked on top. Serve hot with the guacamole and sour cream.
• Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them somewhat chunky. Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together to gently mix. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Make the tomatillo salsa: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the tomatillos are softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the lime juice and cilantro. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
• For the enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon a little of the tomatillo salsa in the bottom of the dish.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and cumin and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Combine the onion mixture, chicken, queso fresco, sour cream and 2 cups Monterey Jack in a large bowl.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Divide the chicken filling evenly among the tortillas and roll up, burrito-style. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining salsa on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the enchiladas are warmed through, 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with queso fresco, cilantro and red onion, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook the ground beef, and saute onions until the meat is brown, about 15 minutes. Drain the fat. Combine with chili powder, salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup cheese in a 1-quart freezer bag to use when serving. Spoon enough meat mixture and cheese on each tortilla to cover a third of it. Roll tortilla beginning at the filled edge. Place seam side down in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish treated with nonstick spray. When tortillas are completed, combine soup, sour cream, and green chilies to make a sauce; pour over tortillas. Cover dish with foil and freeze with bag of cheese taped to it.
• To prepare for serving, thaw enchiladas and cheese. Bake uncovered in a preheated 375ºF oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The last 10 minutes sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix shredded turkey with 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 package Cheddar cheese, and 1/2 package of Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl until well combined. Fill tortillas evenly with turkey mixture, roll up into enchiladas, and place in a 9x13-inch pan.
• Mix remaining sour cream and salsa together and pour over enchiladas. Top with remaining Cheddar and Monterey Jack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, 30 to 40 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:

• 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:

• At least 2 hours before you'd like to eat, place the chicken, 1 garlic clove, the bay leaf, peppercorns and a quarter of the onion in a large stockpot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to very low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
• Remove the chicken legs, thighs and breasts with tongs or a slotted spoon and let cool. Discard the chicken backs and strain the stock; set aside.
• Once cool enough to handle, shred the meat and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Set aside.
• Place the tomatillos in a large saucepan. Add the remaining 2 cloves garlic, peeled, and 2 quarters of the onion. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on medium heat until the tomatillos turn pea green and soften, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. (Vegetarians can reserve the cooking water, turn up the flame, and reduce for 15 to 20 minutes, to use in lieu of chicken stock, if they choose.)
• Stem the chiles and chop roughly with the cooked garlic. Add to a blender jar with half of the tomatillo mixture, and 1/2 cup of the strained chicken stock. (If you have a high-powered blender, toss all the ingredients in at once.) Blend until smooth. Add the remaining tomatillo-onion mixture and 1 teaspoon salt, and blend again until smooth.
• Warm 1 tablespoon lard in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the sauce in one quick pour, being careful as it might splatter. Cook until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes.
• Heat 2 teaspoons lard in a small skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat the bottom. Fry the tortillas lightly, one at a time, until slightly tougher but still pliable, about 30 seconds per side. (They shouldn't be crisp.) As you work, remove the fried tortillas to serving plates-I like to serve 4 tortillas per person. Fold the tortillas in a half-moon shape and make sure they sit in an even layer on each plate.
• Dice the remaining quarter of onion. Ladle 3/4 cup sauce over over each serving of tortillas, spreading slightly so the tortillas are entirely smothered in sauce. Add a layer of diced onion and cilantro, a layer of shredded cheese, a layer of chicken, some crema and another layer of sauce. Top with another light sprinkling of diced onion.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Combine chicken, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and half the VELVEETA. Pour 1/2 cup of the remaining sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla, roll up. Place, seam-sides down, in dish; top with remaining sauce and VELVEETA. Cover.
• Bake 20 min. or until enchiladas are heated through and VELVEETA is melted.
