Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
8 green onions, chopped
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup lime juice
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
10 large flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can green enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the chicken breasts in boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool.
  • Beat cream cheese, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir tomatoes, green onion, green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice into the cream cheese mixture. Add 1 cup Cheddar cheese and fold to integrate.
  • Shred cooled chicken with a pair of forks into strands; stir into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla and fold tortilla around the filling; arrange into the prepared baking dish. Top tortillas with remaining Cheddar cheese and green enchilada sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

One 12-ounce jar jalapeno slices, drained
2 cups sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 green onions, sliced, plus more for sprinkling
4 cups grated sharp Cheddar
18 corn tortillas
Enchilada Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 beef, chicken or tomato bouillon cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
Two 15-ounce cans tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the jalapeno slices to the dry skillet and cook until just starting to blacken. Set aside to cool.
  • Mix together the sour cream, cumin, cayenne pepper, green onions, cooled jalapenos and 2 1/2 cups of the grated Cheddar in a bowl.
  • Using tongs, char the tortillas one at a time over a gas flame for 5 to 10 seconds per side, then dunk each tortilla in the Enchilada Sauce. Lay a tortilla on a plate, then spoon a good 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sour cream mixture in the middle. Roll the tortilla, then place it seam-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and sour cream mixture.

Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cubes and some salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine. Add the tomato sauce and 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by one-third, about 20 minutes.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
  • The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Vegetarian Bean and Cheese Enchiladas image

Enchiladas can be a bit of a project, but here, the process has been streamlined, making them a truly possible weeknight endeavor. Begin by sautéing peppers, onions and garlic until charred in spots, then blend half of the vegetables with canned tomatoes and chili powder for the sauce and combine the rest with black beans, shredded cheese and cumin for the filling. If you're short on time, you could use store-bought enchilada sauce (you'll need three cups), but quality varies, so taste it and add whatever you think is missing: chipotle in adobo or chili powder for smokiness, hot sauce for heat, dried oregano or fresh cilantro for complexity and salt for overall flavor.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, weekday, burritos and nachos, casseroles, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper or poblano chile, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes, preferably crushed (see Tip)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce or 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving (optional)
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
5 ounces mild Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about 1 1/4 cups)
10 to 12 (6-inch) soft corn or flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro leaves and stems, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer half the vegetable mixture to a blender; add the tomatoes, chili powder and hot sauce. Blend until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If your blender isn't particularly strong and the sauce looks more like a chunky purée, add 1/4 cup sour cream and blend again until smooth.)
  • Add the black beans and 1/2 cup cheese to the remaining vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine. Some canned beans are already salted, so taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Spread out the tortillas directly on the oven rack and heat until warmed and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes, then wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm. Pour half the enchilada sauce (about 1 1/2 cups) into a medium casserole dish or a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it to cover the bottom of the dish.
  • Line up the filling, tortillas and baking dish in a row. Place a little more than 1/4 cup of the bean mixture in the center of one tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place in the casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Top with sour cream and cilantro and serve immediately.

  • For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
  • Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.
