Chicken & Corn Enchiladas With Pico De Gallo image

This recipe was created tonight as a result of missing ingredients for what I originally planned to make for dinner. It was enjoyed so much that I decided to add it to the web site so that others could make them as well. Our 5 yr & 11 yr old DGDs joined us for dinner tonight and enjoyed it as well. NOTE--the amount of enchiladas you get depends on how much filling you put inside each tortilla. Using this recipe I made 20 enchiladas which left a bit less than 1/2 of a recipe to freeze for another quick meal.

Yield 20 enchiladas, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (13 ounce) can chicken, drained
1/2 cup of fresh pico de gallo or 1/2 cup salsa
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried chives
2 1/4 cups water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
15 -20 six inch flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Mix first 8 ingredients of Meat Filling together until well mixed & set aside.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl blend together the Sauce ingredients; the water, tomato paste, flour, 1 1/2 Tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Microwave the sauce ingredients for 5 minutes then set aside.
  • Lay one flour tortilla on a flat surface (I use a plate).
  • Place about 1 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons Meat Filling along the edge of the tortilla closest to you.
  • Sprinkle 1 -2 teaspoons of the two mixed cheese along top.
  • Roll tortilla away from you ending when the tortilla is completely rolled.
  • Place filled tortilla into a lightly greased baking pan so that the seam is on the bottom.
  • NOTE--As you lay each enchilada down next to the previous one, place them close to the previous one so that they are side by side.
  • Repeat rolling tortillas until all the meat filling is used up.
  • Sprinkle half of the remaining cheese over the top of the rolled tortillas.
  • Cover the tops and ends of all the tortillas with the Sauce.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the Sauce.
  • Bake 30 min in a preheated 350 degree oven.
