Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large stewing chicken, or 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (12 oz.) block swiss cheese, thinly slice 4 oz. shred rest (8 oz.)
1 (16 oz.) cont. sour cream, do not sub light, divided
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can del monte original stewed tomatoes, chopped up with juice
10-12 "taco-sized" flour tortillas (not the big burrito-sized)
vegetable oil, for soft-frying

Steps:

1. In large bowl, combine well the chicken, the shredded cheese and 3/4 of the sour cream, set aside. (Make sure you slice from short end, 10-12 thin slices of swiss cheese and wrap and set aside.) Soft-fry tortillas in a little oil, adding more as needed, set aside. I brush my flat griddle pan with a little oil and fry each side of tortillas, one at a time, til they just start to poof. About 5-10 seconds per side. Brush on more oil as needed, about every other one.)In pie dish, pour chopped tomatoes with juice. (Break up stewed tomatoes.)In 13x9 pan, sprayed, pour a little tomato juice to lightly coat bottom of pan. Dip each tortilla in chopped tomatoes, lightly coating with juice, fill with chicken mixture, roll up, place each seam-side down into pan. (Last 3 will have to go along side the 13" side of pan.) Pour remaining tomatoes down over middle/center of filled, rolled tortillas. Top each with a slice of swiss cheese. This goes easily if you get a "production line" all set up. Bake, uncovered, in 350° oven for 20 minutes. Top each with a dollop of sour cream, and bake 5 minutes longer. *Can sub: Mexican-Style Tomatoes and can add 1 (3 oz) can chopped green chilies, drained, to chicken mixture if desired. But my hubby and I prefer them just as they are! Note: 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts will yield 8-10 filled enchiladas using taco-sized flour tortillas. Just stew them for about 20 minutes or til done.
