Time 50m

Yield 10 enchiladas

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium onion, very finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2-2 cups leftover grilled chicken (or any cooked chicken)
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 good quality flour tortillas (about 7-8-inch diameter)
1 cup half & half light cream
1 chicken bouillon cube (or 1/2 tsp. granules)
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (we prefer sharp)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 11x7" glass pyrex dish with cooking spray.
  • Shred or cube the leftover chicken.
  • In a large skillet, cook the onion and garlic in the canola oil until soft.
  • Add the chicken, Rotel tomatoes and salt. Simmer approximately 10 minutes on medium-low heat.
  • Combine half and half and bouillon - heat 30 seconds at a time in microware until bouillon cubes melts and can be fully mixed together. (Shouldn't need more than 1 minute). Set aside.
  • Using a measuring cup, fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup of chicken filling, rolling up, and placing seam side down in prepared dish. Pour any remaining filling over the top of the enchiladas.
  • Pour the bouillon mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
  • Cover with foil, and bake 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 10 more.
  • While baking, combine all cheeses well.
  • After the 20 minutes cooking time, remove enchiladas from oven, cover completely with the cheeses, and bake for 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with some hot Spanish rice, and some fresh guacamole on the side!
