Original Enchiritos From Tyson Recipes

CHICKEN ENCHIRITOS

Steps:

• Poach chicken breasts in stock just until no longer pink. Remove, cool and shred with 2 forks.
• Make sauce: Saute onions, peppers and garlic in oil just until soft. Add oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Add tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, red enchilada sauce and green chiles.
• Spread enough sauce to cover the bottom of a 9" by 15" glass baking dish.
• Microwave 2 tortillas at a time for 15 seconds and assemble before microwaving the next 2.
• Assemble enchiritos: Spread center of a tortilla with about 2 T. beans, add about 3 T. shredded chicken and top with about 1/3 cup cheese. Roll up burrito-style, tucking in sides and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are used. You will have to keep assessing amounts as you go to divide evenly.
• Pour the rest of the sauce over enchiritos and top with the rest of the cheese.
• Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, or until bubbly and cheese is beginning to brown.

ENCHIRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brown the ground beef and drain off the fat. If using chicken, just throw the taco seasoning with the chicken into a skillet. Follow the taco seasoning directions for the rest of this preparation.
• Warm the tortillas in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel, for 1 minute.
• Open the can of beans and place 1 tablespoon (or more, if desired) down the middle of the tortilla. Spoon 2 tablespoons (or more, if desired) of the beef or chicken on top of the beans. Roll the tortilla up, the beans and protein lengthwise, leaving both ends open. Continue until all tortillas are used.
• Place rolled tortillas in a 13"x9" baking dish. I usually place the "seam" side down. Open the enchilada sauce and pour oven the rolled tortillas and top with as much cheese as desired. Place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Top with any garnishes desired.
