Basic Chicken Enchiladas Recipe


Basic Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
Just made these for dinner with stuff we had in the house. A recipe I saw had an egg in it, so I tried that and it worked well. I've made plenty of enchiladas without it though, so I'd consider the egg optional. Probably wouldn't hurt to season the ... More

Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts, boiled and chopped (or substitute a block of pressed tofu)
  • 2 tsp oil for sautéing
  • 1/2 med. onion, diced
  • 1/2 red pepper, diced
  • 1/2 green pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can green chilies
  • 1 block cream cheese (softened, if time allows)
  • 4 oz. grated cheddar
  • 1 egg (optional)
  • corn tortillas
  • sour cream (optional)
  • 1 can enchilada sauce (we used red)
  • some additional cheddar for topping the enchiladas

Directions
  1. Boil the chicken, allow to cool a bit before chopping, set aside
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  3. Sauté the onion and pepper on med. high, stirring occasionally, for seven minutes
  4. Add garlic and green chilies, lower heat to medium and continue sautéing for two minutes, stirring frequently
  5. Combine chicken, sautéed vegetables, cream cheese, grated cheddar and, optionally, the egg in a bowl and mix well.
  6. Place a few healthy tablespoons in a line across the middle of a corn tortilla and roll the tortilla around it.
  7. Place each tortilla seam down in a glass or foil-lined baking dish. I was able to get 10 in a 9x13 glass baking dish.
  8. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top, making sure to cover all of the exposed tortilla.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, topping with the additional cheddar if desired after 15 minutes
  10. Serve with sour cream, if desired

This sounds really good. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm in the mood for mexican food!


Hi,
This recipe sounds so good. Cream cheese. I've never tried them with cream cheese. I bet they are to die for. 5 forks, wish I could give you more. Good posting.
