Five-Star Chicken Enchiladas image

Going out on a limb with that name, but that's how we rate these little beauties! Make up a batch of my Mexican Gravy/Enchilada Sauce, and you're all set to make this recipe--otherwise just use canned enchilada sauce from the store.

Number Of Ingredients 12

FILLING:
3 cups cooked chicken meat
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 onion, diced
1 cup enchilada sauce (Mexican gravy)
WRAPPING
12 corn tortillas or 12 flour tortillas
TOPPING
2 cups enchilada sauce
1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup sliced black olives

Steps:

  • MY NOTE: Going out on a limb with that name, but that's how we rate these little beauties! Make up a batch of my Mexican Gravy/Enchilada Sauce, and you're all set to make this recipe--otherwise just use canned enchilada sauce from the store.
  • Prepare filling: mix filling ingredients; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Pour enchilada sauce on a large dinner plate.
  • Assemble enchiladas: Dip one tortilla in sauce on plate, then lay in 13x9 pan for baking.
  • Fill center of tortilla with about 3 T. of filling; roll it up, place seam-side down in the pan.
  • Do this with the rest of the tortillas, laying unfilled tortillas over the top as you assemble (don't get another pan dirty!); squeeze them all into one pan.
  • Pour remaining two cups of enchilada sauce (topping) over the tortillas; sprinkle with cheese and olives.
  • Pop the pan into the oven for about 30 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream and guacamole.
  • ANOTHER SERVING OPTION: serve on a bed of lettuce, top with sour cream & guacamole.
