Yield 3 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

~ 1 lb - skinless boneless chicken thighs
1 whole medium-sized red onion
1 6-oz can - chopped green chilis
1/4 cup drained pickled jalapeno peppers
2 cups (total) shredded Mexican Cheeses
~ 1/2 cup - El Phoenix hot sauce (though other salsas will substitute)
3 medium poblano peppers
3 large flour tortillas
1 28-oz can - El Paso Green Chili Enchilada Sauce
Garlic Powder
13" x 9" x 2" baking pan
Oven (convection if possible) preheated to 450 F.

Steps:

  • Core the stem and seeds, keeping the poblano peppers whole. Place poblano peppers on top rack of grill away from direct flame. Roast, turning frequently, while the skin blisters, but be careful it does not burn. When the skin evenly blisters and turns a light brownish color, remove and place in a tightly closed paper bag until ready to use (at least 10 min). They should be soft, but retain their shape. Next, take the boneless chicken thighs and coat with garlic powder, and grill on the cooler part of the flame, careful to turn them so that they are grilled but not charred. Cook until tender but slightly underdone. Remove from the grill and allow to cool. Place enough olive oil in a skillet to thinly coat the bottom. Cook the chopped onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, green chilis, & garlic powder (to taste) over low heat until caramelized. After the ingredients have begun to caramelize, reduce heat and add El Phoenix hot sauce. This should reduce to a mush. After the poblanos have cooled, remove the blistered skin (should be easy). What should remain is an easy to handle, but somewhat rigid pepper. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes, and divide it into two piles, one slightly larger. Place a small amount of cheese, then 1/3 of the chicken from the smaller pile, some onion-tomato mix, and some cheese into each of the poblano peppers. Place chicken from the larger pile into a line in the center of the tortillas, with some of the onion-tomato mix, and some cheese. Roll them, leaving both ends open. Place in pan with peppers, leaving some space between the enchiladas. Set the enchiladas on their seams, so they do not unroll while baking. Pour the entire contents of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and poblanos, allowing the sauce to completely cover them. Take the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the top of the entire mixture. Place in the preheated oven, and cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until done. Once finished, the meal should be hot, bubbling and roasted.

CHILI STUFFED ENCHILADAS

Very simple, hearty and delicious take on enchiladas. The last time we made enchiladas, we ran out of the chicken mixture we were using for the filling...but we had some leftover chili, so my resourceful DH used that to stuff the last tortilla. The results were fabulous! Tonight, it was chili filling all the way!!

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 Enchiladas, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 -10 small flour tortillas
12 ounces enchilada sauce (I recommend Trader's Joe's)
3 cups chili (amount approximate, thicker is better, use your leftovers!!)
1/2 cup queso sauce (I recommend Tostitos brand Monterey Jack)
1 cup four-cheese Mexican blend cheese
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Warm tortillas for about 30 seconds in microwave, enough to make them soft and pliable.
  • Pour enough enchilada sauce to just cover bottom of greased 9 x 12 glass baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup chili (no need to warm up if you are using leftovers). Roll each tortilla and place seam side down in the sauce-lined pan.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the stuffed tortillas, being sure to completely cover all of them. Use a spoon to spread over any exposed areas.
  • Warm queso slightly then drizzle lightly over tortillas.
  • Finish by topping with shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, until sauce is bubbly.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
