Chicken Enchiladas Verdes

Chicken Enchilada Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375.

  Heat oil in a small 6-8″ pan on low heat.

  Mix 8oz of cheese with the cold Batch Ranchero Chicken recipe in a medium-sized bowl.

  Place the corn tortillas in the hot oil, one at a time, until they start to sizzle a little, then remove it and place it on a plate with a paper towel to drain.

  When all the tortillas are out of the oil, assemble the enchiladas by placing about 2-3 oz of the chicken mix across the lower 3rd of the tortilla and roll the tortilla up like a carpet.  Place it in the baking dish with the seam side down.  Continue this until all enchiladas are complete and placed in the baking dish or pan.

  Spoon on the enchilada sauce across the center of the enchiladas, leaving about a half-inch of the end of the tortilla uncovered with sauce.  You don’t have to do this, but it looks nicer in the dish with the color contrast.

  Sprinkle 8oz of cheese across the center of the enchiladas spreading evenly across all enchiladas.

  Place the dish with enchiladas in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165.

  This may take more or less time, depending on how cold the chicken is.

  Serve this dish with Mexican Rice, Refried Beans, Chips and Salsa, Guacamole, and Sour Cream.
