Santa Fe Enchiladas Recipes

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Add olive oil to a pot over medium heat. Add in onions and saute 4 minutes. Add in garlic and saute an additional 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir well.
• Slowly add in chicken broth, stirring constantly, until a sauce forms. Add in diced green chile, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, and salt to taste. Blend, if desired
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in chicken breasts and boil until cooked through, about 20 - 25 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the pot, shred with two forks, and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Stir well.
• Warm tortillas up in the microwave for 30 - 60 seconds, until pliable. Add 2 - 3 tbsp of cooked chicken to the center of each tortilla, then top with 1 tbsp of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Pour green chile sauce over the rolled enchiladas (I use about a cup, but you can adjust to your preferences). Top with remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 degrees, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions, garlic, jalapenos, cumin, oregano, and some salt, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Char the tortillas slightly over the flame of a gas burner or in a dry skillet, if using an electric stove-top.
• Layer some tomato sauce mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish then top with a few tortillas and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat this ending with cheese on top. Take the remaining tortilla, roughly chop it up and scatter over the cheese. Bake until browned and sauce is bubbling around the edges.
• Heat about 1/4-inch of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Fry 4 eggs in the oil, spooning the oil over the tops of the eggs to cook them without flipping.
• Scoop out the enchiladas and serve with a fried egg on top.

Steps:

• Saute chicken in vegetable oil with garlic salt until just done.
• Spread each tortilla with cream cheese; divide chicken, spinach, onion, and tomatoes between tortillas; roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9x13" baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
• Pour enchilada sauce evenly over enchiladas then top with grated cheese; bake at 350° degrees for 15 minutes until cheese is melted.
• NOTE: Only six of these thick enchiladas will fit in my 9x13" baking dish, and so I also use a large loaf pan to hold the last two.
