Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13 casserole dish. Shred pre-cooked chicken or cook your own: Add chicken to a saucepan, completely cover with water and season with 1 tsp salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside.
- In a bowl beat the cream cheese. Add the sour cream, green chilis, enchiladas sauce, 1/4 tsp salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika; beat until combined.
- Divide the mixture into two bowls, add 2/3 of the sauce into a large bowl. Set aside remaining 1/3 of the sauce for the top.
- Add the shredded chicken with 2 cups cheese to the first bowl with 2/3 of the sauce. Mix with a spatula to combine.
- Generously add chicken filling to the center of each tortilla and roll up tortillas tightly. Arrange the tortillas in a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Pour the reserved 1/3 of sauce over the tortillas and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese (add more cheese if desired).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare your enchilada sauce.
- In large sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add diced chicken and green chiles, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté the mixture for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add in the beans and stir until evenly combined. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
- To assemble the enchiladas, set up an assembly line including: tortillas, enchilada sauce, chicken mixture, and cheese. Lay out a tortilla, and spread two tablespoons of sauce over the surface of the tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in a line down the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. Roll up tortilla and place in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Assemble the remaining enchiladas. Then spread any remaining sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas, followed by any extra cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until the enchiladas are cooked through and the tortillas are slightly crispy on the outside. Transfer the baking dish to a wire baking rack.
- Serve the enchiladas immediately while they're nice and hot and melty, garnished with lots of fresh toppings. Enjoy!
CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
Enchiladas have always been thought of as Mexican "soul food" because of their bright, reassuring flavors. These enchiladas suizas, or Swiss-style enchiladas, are simple to make and boast a creamy, savory texture.

Steps:
- Roast the tomatoes and chiles on a baking sheet 4 inches below the broiler until they're darkly roasted with blackened and blistered spots, 5-6 minutes per side. (If using canned tomatoes, drain the tomatoes and set aside. Toast the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium heat, turning regularly, until they're soft and splotchy-black, about 5 minutes.)
- Dice the onion, reserving a few rings for garnish. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat; cook the diced onions, stirring regularly, until golden, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the tomatoes and chiles from the oven and cool.
- Working over your baking sheet, pull off and discard the blackened tomato skins and, for round tomatoes, cut out the hard "cores" where the stems were attached. Transfer tomatoes and chiles to a food processor or blender, along with all the juices on the baking sheet. Blend to a smooth purée.
- Add the puréed tomatoes and chiles to the onions and cook, stirring, until they darken in color and thicken to the consistency of tomato paste, 7-8 minutes. Stir in the broth, partially cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Whisk in the sour cream and season with 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Lay the tortillas out on a baking sheet (2 sheets if you have them, for more even heating), and lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with lard or oil. Bake at 350 degrees F just long enough to warm through and soften, about 3 minutes. Stack the tortillas and cover with a towel to keep them warm and pliable.
- Spread about ¼ cup of the sauce over the bottom of four to six 9-inch individual oven-proof serving dishes, or smear about 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Working quickly while the tortillas are still pliable, roll a portion of the chicken into each tortilla, then line them up in the dishes, seam-side down. Cover with the remaining sauce, then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese has browned slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Garnish the enchiladas with reserved onion rings and cilantro sprigs before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 11x15-inch baking dish.
- Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan with enough water to barely cover; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan, drain, and shred with two forks. Place the shredded chicken into a bowl and mix with 8 ounces of Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and canned green chilies.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture in a line down the center of each tortilla and fold the tortilla in half, enclosing the filling. Starting at the filled side, roll the folded tortilla into a cylinder. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish with the seam sides down.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soup, half-and-half, chicken broth, and about 1/3 of the 2nd package of shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas, sprinkle remaining Colby-Monterey Jack cheese over the casserole, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and the cheese topping is melted and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.

GRANDMA'S ENCHILADAS
if you like mexican food you'll love this dish! i learned how to make enchilladas this way from my mom who learned from my grandma. i usually make a whole tray & then my boyfriend takes leftovers to work & brags to everyone about how good it is!! another traditional way to serve this is for breakfast with a fried egg on top (omg, heaven!) i usually make the full fat version but see the note at the bottom for a low fat version that still tastes great!

Steps:
- Cut chicken into small pieces and add enough water (or chicken broth) to cover.
- Season water with sea salt, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, oregano, sage, lemon juice & bay leaves.
- Some of the seasonings might seem like a lot but when you're boiling you have to make the water strong so the flavor gets into the chicken.
- Bring to a boil & cover, you don't want to boil too hard or all your water will evaporate.
- Let boil for 60 minutes or until chicken falls apart easily.
- While chicken is boiling, sauté onion in a small skillet, remove from skillet & set aside.
- Using the same skillet, add ½ cup oil & heat to medium/high, sprinkle with some salt.
- fry corn tortillas until lightly browned but not crispy (about 10 seconds per side), add more oil if needed until all tortillas are cooked.
- Once chicken is done reserve 2 cups chicken broth and shred chicken.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Put chili sauce in a wide bowl or sauce pan.
- Using tongs, dip cooked tortillas in chili sauce and layer the bottom of a 6x9 size casserole dish (should fit 2 across & 3 down).
- Add a layer of chicken, cheese, onions and sprinkle with chicken broth (I usually use a turkey baster).
- Repeat until the dish is full...this size dish should fit 3 layers. (tortilla, chicken, cheese, onion & broth).
- Sprinkle top of dish with more chili sauce and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. usually i turn the broiler on for a minute or two at the end to get the top crispy.
- Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
- i serve with shredded lettuce & diced tomato topped with taco sauce.
- Note: for a lower fat version, use low fat cheese & heat tortillas on the stove top instead of frying....the dark rings give them more flavor than steaming. For smaller dishes cut tortillas in half to fit one single later across the bottom.

- Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine chicken and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Fill tortillas with this mixture and roll each one up then place seam side down in the prepared pan.
- Melt the butter in a skillet. Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the flour taste. Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in broth. Place back on the heat and cook until the mixture has thickened and is bubbly. Cool sauce for 3-5 minutes. (Don't skip this step- if the sauce is too hot and you add the sour cream it will curdle it-yuck!) Add sour cream and chilies and stir until sauce is smooth and sour cream is completely dissolved.
- Pour sauce over enchiladas and add remaining cheese over top. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until enchiladas are heated through and sauce is bubbly. Turn on the broiler and broil until the top is nicely golden. Top with chopped green onions and serve.
