CHICKEN AND GREEN CHILI ENCHILADAS AND STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

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.

TURKEY, GREEN CHILI AND SOUR CREAM ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Tortillas can vary considerably in terms of their flexibility to be rolled. If they are very fresh you may be a able to roll them without softening. But for most tortillas you have to make them pliant. You either heat them on a griddle and place them under a damped towel to stay warm and moist or you can quickly fry them in hot oil until they are soft and then drain them on papers towels. Mix one cup of the chili sauce with the meat. Place 1/4 cup of the mixture and roll is up. Place in a large oblong baking dish. Scatter the onions over the enchiladas. Cover them with the grated cheese, then the remaining sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Take the enchiladas out and spread the sour cream even over them. Return to the oven for at least ten minutes. The sour cream should be hot and gently bubbling. Test the center. When it is hot serve immediately. *Green Chile Sauce Heat the oil and saute the onion a few minutes, then add the garlic and cook until softened. Stir in the flour, cook 2 minutes, then slowly add the stock. Add the chili, tomato and cumin. Cover and simmer at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water or stock if sauce gets to thick. Add salt to taste. Makes about 3 cups.

• Warm 3/4 of the enchilada sauce in a large shallow pan over low-medium heat.
• Pour enough enchilada sauce to also lightly coat the bottom of a 9×13 dish. Swirl to coat and set aside.
• If using corn tortillas drench them in hot oil before rolling up(this will soften them and make them easier to roll up).
• Using your hands or tongs, carefully dip the tortillas in the warmed sauce until both sides are well coated. Transfer the tortilla to the baking dish, scoop in 2 Tbsp of the black bean filling and roll up. Place seam side down and continue until the pan is filled - should be about 10-12 enchiladas.

GREEN CHILI CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Put the chicken thighs in a large pot, add water to cover and stir in the salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Drain the chicken. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and shredding the meat.
• Preheat oven - 400°F; . Lightly grease a 9x13 roasting pan. WS had a pan for sale that was deeper then the dishes I had and that they recommended, but I couldn't see buying another pan.
• In a saute' pan over a medium heat, warm the oil. Using tongs , quickly pass each tortilla through the hot oil until softened, 2-3 seconds. Drain on a paper towel-lines baking sheet.
• Pour ½ cup of the chili verde into the prepared roasting pan and spread evenly. Place 3 tortillas on top. Top with 1 cup of chicken, 1 cup of jack cheese and ½ cup of chili verde starter. Repeat the layering 4 times, ending with a layer of tortillas. Top with the remaining ½ cup of chili verde starter and the remaining jack cheese.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkles the red onion, cilantro and queso anejo cheese on top. Serve warm.
• CHANGES I MADE:.
• I used a regular 9x13 baking dish that I had. It was not nearly as deep as the one at WS, so I could only get 2 layers of the process. It turned out just fine.
• I used the roasted chickens that we can get at the store. For my size dish I used 2 chickens.
• I also think you could use any chili verde sauce and it would be fine. i TEND NOT TO USE TOO MUCH SALT WHEN COOKING, SO i DID NOT ADD THE SALT CALLED FOR ABOVE. i ALSO DON'T PARTICULARLY CARE FOR CILANTRO, SO I LEFT THAT OUT ALSO.
• The tortillas I got where not hard but fresh, so I skipped the warm oil.
• It took me all of about 15 minutes to put this together.
• The next time I fix I will add a little salt but not as much as they call for and maybe some jalapenos.

GREEN CHILI CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare fillings by placing each of the following in individual bowls: cheese, chopped onions, chopped scallions and olives. Set aside.
• Spray bottoms of two 9x13 baking dishes (glass recommended) with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 can of sauce into each baking dish and spread evenly. Set aside. Note: For best results, shake cans of sauce before opening.
• In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil to the point where a piece of tortilla dipped in the oil sizzles. Note: For ease in assembling the enchiladas, best to place this skillet on the right front burner. Note: If you leave the tortilla in the oil too long, it will burn. The trick is to place it in the oil for only a moment and then flip it and remove it. If it bubbles up, use the tongs to deflate the bubbles. Some crispiness is desired.
• Place another skillet on the left front burner and fill it with 1/2 can of enchilada sauce. Note: The sauce in this skillet DOES NOT need to be heated.
• Using tongs, place one tortilla into the hot oil. Immediately flip it one time and then remove to the skillet containing the sauce. Drench each side of the cooked tortilla with sauce, then remove it to the baking dish. Note: 1 cup of oil should be enough but you can add more if needed. Be sure to test for correct degree of hotness again if you add oil.
• Once the cooked, drenched tortilla has been moved to the baking dish, use your fingers to lay it open. Fill it down the center with some chicken, cheese and onions. Once filled, roll up the sides toward the middle, then turn the filled enchilada over so that it rests seam-side down in the baking dish.
• Repeat steps 6 & 7 until you have filled each baking dish with enchiladas. Note: Each pan usually holds 5 but if you haven't filled them too full, you may be able to squeeze in 6.
• Once each baking dish has been filled with enchiladas, top each with the following in this order: 1/2 can enchilada sauce, remaining cheese (sprinkled down the middle of the enchiladas), chopped scallions and black olives.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until heated through (watch that cheese doesn't burn). Dishes are done when sauce bubbles gently around the edges.
• Have a margarita with them and enjoy!
