I knew this weeks menu looked yummy!! It started off awesome, tonight's dinner was amazing (next blog post) but yesterdays was a blast from the past! My mom used to make these, and I remember them being super yummy, why have I not made them since then!? Here is the recipe, best enjoyed with a nice frosty beer, on the patio, when the sun is shining!!
Chicken Enchiladas
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small pieces
1/2 block of cream cheese (I used the whole block)
1 red pepper chopped
4 green onions chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin (I didn't have this, didn't effect the recipe)
salt & pepper
10-12 corn tortillas (white or yellow)
1 1/2 cups of your favorite salsa (I used Pace)
Topping
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup of additional salsa
2-3 finely chopped green onions
Cook your chicken well in a pan with a tbsp of vegetable oil. Add your cream cheese, red pepper, green onion, cumin, salt and pepper. Once everything is combined and the cream cheese has melted, put aside. Steam your tortillas until pliable (I microwaved mine for 45 seconds wrapped in a tea towel). Spread salsa on the tortilla, then add two spoonfuls of chicken mixture, roll up, leaving both ends open and place in a rectangular greased casserole dish, continue until all your 10-12 tortillas are filled and placed in your dish (mine were in a row). Spread salsa on top of your rolled tortillas, then sprinkle with grated cheese and green onion. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Serve with fresh chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
Enjoy!!
Don't forget the beer :-)
