Categories     Cheese

Time 50m

Yield 6 enchiladas, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup butter
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup diced green chilis
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded (divided)
1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
1/2 cup Mexican crema (optional) or 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
3 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • CHILE CREAM SAUCE:.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Still cooking, add milk, salt and chicken broth. Gradually add flour, stirring until blended. Increase heat to medium. Add chiles. Cook, stirring, until sauce has a creamy texture (about 10 minutes). Makes 3 cups. Set aside to use for topping enchiladas.
  • ZUCCHINI ENCHILADAS:.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of warm chile cream sauce in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish and set aside rest of sauce, keeping it warm.
  • In a bowl, mix shredded zucchini and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Set aside.
  • Warm tortillas so they are pliable (do this according to package directions, or use whatever method you prefer). One by one, dip warmed tortillas in the pan of remaining sauce and remove immediately (if allowed to sit in the sauce, the tortilla will start to dissolve). Move each dipped tortilla to the baking dish and put 1/6 of the reserved filling mixture in the center of the tortilla. Roll each tortilla and arrange in the baking dish, seam side down. Repeat until all the tortillas and filling are used up. Cover enchiladas with remaining sauce and 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 350ºF, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Remove from oven and top with chopped onion, crema/sour cream and cilantro, if using.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA VERDE



Chicken Enchiladas With Salsa Verde image

Don't let the one-hour prep time on these enchiladas scare you. Use some leftover roast chicken, or buy a roast chicken at the market on the way home, and you'll save at least 20 minutes, making the dish a terrific weeknight feed, alongside a green salad. (At El Real Tex-Mex restaurant, in Houston, the great Tex-Mex scholar and restaurateur Robb Walsh serves his version with lightly smoked chicken, which if you can find or make is superb.) The salsa verde is dead simple to make and the rest is assembly - a task that grows markedly easier each time you do it.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     weekday, weeknight, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs or breasts, or a mixture
1 small white onion, cut in half
4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 pound fresh tomatillos, husked, rinsed and cut into quarters (use canned if you can't find fresh)
1 small white onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove of garlic, peeled and chopped
2 serrano chiles or more to taste, seeds removed if you want it less spicy, stemmed and roughly chopped
4 to 5 tender stems of fresh cilantro, with leaves, roughly chopped
Salt to taste
1/2 cup neutral oil, like canola
12 yellow corn tortillas
1 cup crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese
1 cup Mexican crema, or use crème fraîche or sour cream
1 medium-size white onion, peeled and chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken: Place chicken parts in a large saucepan with onion, garlic and salt, and cover with water. Heat pan over high heat until liquid comes to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove chicken and let cool, reserving stock for another use. Using your fingers or two forks, shred meat from chicken and reserve, discarding skin and bones. (Alternatively, shred meat from leftover or store-bought roast chicken and set aside.)
  • Meanwhile, heat oven to 375, and make the salsa verde: Combine tomatillos, onion, garlic, serranos and cilantro in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth, adding water as needed to thin it out a little. Season with salt to taste.
  • Prepare the tortillas: In medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, heat oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly.
  • Assemble the enchiladas: Use a ladle to put about 1/2 cup salsa verde in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of shredded chicken into each tortilla with a teaspoon or so of salsa verde and place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle salsa verde over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with about half the crumbled cheese.
  • Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Dot with crema, sprinkle with remaining cheese and, if using, chopped onion, then serve immediately.

ENCHILADAS CON CARNE



Enchiladas Con Carne image

There are a few cool tricks to this recipe, one of which I picked up from an old issue of Bon Appétit, one I learned from Robb Walsh, the great Tex-Mex scholar and restaurateur who runs El Real Tex-Mex in Houston, and a final one I learned by happenstance. First, for the thickening agent in the chile sauce, toast raw all-purpose flour in a pan until it is nutty and golden brown, then reserve it to stir in with the browned beef later in the recipe. Second, if you like truly melty cheese in the classic Tex-Mex tradition, use a mixture of American cheese, like Velveeta, with the Cheddar you use inside and on top of the finished enchiladas. Finally, if you're fearful that a casserole of cheese, chili and fried tortillas may be a little rich for dinner, serve it with a bowl of tomatillo pineapple salsa on the side. The acidity provides a nice balance. (Note also that as with all recipes, but particularly this one, some planning and practice can get the preparation down to 60 minutes.)

Categories     casseroles, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola
1 pound ground chuck beef, ideally 20 percent fat
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 medium white onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 jalapeño pepper or more to taste, seeds removed if you want it less spicy, stemmed and chopped
1 cup chopped or canned crushed tomatoes
3 tablespoons chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, ideally Mexican
2 cups chicken stock, ideally homemade or low-sodium if store-bought
1/2 cup neutral oil, like canola
12 yellow corn tortillas
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, or a mixture of 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese and 1 1/2 cups American cheese, like Velveeta
1 medium-size white onion, peeled and chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the chili con carne: Put flour in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to turn golden brown and smell nutty, then pour it onto a plate to cool.
  • Wipe out sauté pan and return it to high heat with 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot and shimmery, add ground beef to pan, and cook, breaking it up with a fork and stirring, until it is well browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then use a slotted spoon to remove meat to a bowl, leaving drippings behind.
  • Add onion, garlic and jalapeño to pan and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits of meat, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Stir in tomatoes and cook until their liquid has evaporated, then add chile powder, cumin and oregano and stir to combine. After a minute or so, when mixture begins to turn fragrant, return browned meat to pan, along with toasted flour, and stir well to combine.
  • Lower heat to medium-high and slowly stir in chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time, until mixture has thickened and started to simmer. Lower heat again and allow chili to cook slowly for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is tender. Add more stock or water if needed. Use immediately, or let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to a few days.
  • When you are ready to cook the enchiladas, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 cup neutral oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly.
  • Assemble the enchiladas: Using a ladle, put about 1/2 cup chili in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of cheese into each tortilla, along with a tablespoon or so of chili, then place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle remaining chili over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle chopped onions over the top, if using, and serve immediately.

This is a delicious Mexican dish with a decadent rich cream sauce covering the enchiladas and a topping of monterey jack cheese, garnished with green onions and red pepper slivers.

Provided by BonniE !

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds of chicken tenders
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and deveined, fine chopped. add more peppers for more heat.
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, chopped
1/2 cup white onion, fine chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 1/4 cups chicken broth, or stock
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
12 corn tortillas
2 cups monterey jack cheese shredded
2 green onions, just the tops, fine diced, garnish
1/4 cup red pepper slivered, garnish

Steps:

  • 1. NOTE: Please read the recipe through before you begin. The chicken takes 45 minutes to an hour to prepare, and it takes about 25 to 30 minutes to bake.
  • 2. Place chicken tenders in a single layer, 12 inch skillet. Sprinkle peppers, tomato, onion, garlic, salt and cumin, add stock or broth. Heat over medium high heat to boiling, reduce heat to low. Simmer covered until chicken is very tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. Check the broth to make sure seasoning is to your liking.
  • 3. Remove chicken pieces from the skillet with tongs and shake off the pieces of vegetables. Spread chicken out on a cutting board to cool so it can be handled.
  • 4. Heat the mixture in the skillet , simmer gently over medium high heat stirring frequently, about 6 minutes. You will need 1 1/4 cups of this liquid. Drain and reserve the liquid and then transfer it to a 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
  • 5. Now tear the chicken with your hands into coarse shreds. (don't shred with a fork. I save the vegetables and freeze them to add to soups. )
  • 6. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the cream in a medium skillet over medium heat until just below boiling. Remove from heat.
  • 7. I use a pie plate to put my dipped tortillas in so I can fill them with chicken without a mess. Using tongs dip one tortilla in the hot cream until it is limp, a few seconds, remove draining off excess cream, place in pie pan and fill with about 3 tablespoons of chicken down the center of each dipped tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down on sauce in the baking dish. After I have dipped a couple of tortillas, I put the heat on under the cream and turn it to simmer to keep it hot. It makes the tortillas fold easier if the cream is warm.
  • 8. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken. Now pour the remaining cream evenly over the enchiladas.
  • 9. Sprinkle enchiladas evenly with the cheese. Bake in the 375 degree oven until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Don't overcook because it will tear up your tortillas. If you want it more brown than my photo, consider putting it under the broiler the last few minutes. Garnish with green onion and red pepper slivers. Enjoy!
  • 10. Cook's tip: My husband does not like traditional enchilada sauce. I have found this last week that there are several people on this site who do not like it either. This recipe is for you!
