How to make it
- Directions
- Stir any broth in the can of chicken in with the meat.
- Lay one tortilla out flat .
- Place approximately one fourth 1/4 of the can of chicken in a line across the center of each tortilla
- Place sliced cheese across the tortilla, over the chicken, using enough pieces to cover the chicken - lengthwise only - or sprinkle the grated cheese down the line.
- Grated cheese doesn't seem to melt as well as the sliced)
- Add approximately 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped onion down over the top of cheese.
- Fold tortilla over - into thirds.
- Wet your fingers with water and "sprinkle" into the dish (to create steam)
- Place in a square glass baking dish, seam side down.
- Sprinkle a little more water over them and cover with plastic wrap with a couple of slits cut in it to vent.
- Microwave ONE to TWO minutes or just a little more - just long enough to melt the cheese.
- Serve immediately. Top with your preference of topping(s).
- Serve cooked rice or corn chips on the side, if desired.
- Never Ending Other Enchiladas - once you get the idea, you can create all kinds of different "enchiladas".
- Use a different kind of cooked meat, a different kind of cheese, add minced garlic or not, onions or not. (onions and garlic can be raw, just diced very small or thin pieces so they cook quickly)
- You can make a "sauce" or "gravy" with canned soup - beefy mushroom (with ground beef or chopped left over roast inside the tortillas and some kind of cheese of your choice),
- cream of mushroom (with cooked beef and potatoes inside),
- cream of chicken soup (with chicken and squash/broccoli/green beans/ or peas),
- cream of celery (with something),
- nacho cheese soup (with chicken/beef/ham and onions/garlic and swiss cheese/ cream cheese/or mild cheddar),
- broccoli cheese soup (with cooked broccoli and cheddar cheese).
- Just use the method for the chicken enchiladas and heat the sauce/gravy separately and top after at the table.
- I would suggest that you just experiment with variations until you find your favorites.
- These make great weeknight meals because you can use leftovers and it's fast. You can also feed in "shifts" if you have a large group to feed and they have to eat at different times.
