This is a quick Enchilada dinner recipe, well not really a recipe. I brought the Enchilada Sauce at Trader Joe, $2.99 for a 12 oz bottle, a little pricy but worth it, a small can of sliced black olives. I quick poached two chicken breasts and shredded them, used 10 tortillas and using a 8x11 oblong baking pan. Put a little oil or spray in a skillet, just get the tortilla soft & pliable. Pour some sauce in a small bowl. Grate cheese probably about 1/2 lb. or use the Mexican Blend grated bag from TJ's, I did. Now place a tortilla in the sauce just to wet it, lay it on a cutting board or plate, put some shredded chicken, a few sliced olives and cheese, (as cheesy as you want them) Roll them tight place in pan, keep going until the pan is full, 8-10. Pour sauce over top of all, a few more olives and more cheese, (again as cheesy as you want it). Bake in 350 oven for 25 minutes, done. I can't eat red sauce enchiladas any more, but it's Michael's favorite. If you don't have a Trader Joe's, so sorry for you (Vic & Sue). LOVE THAT STORE! Add some beans, (TJ's Organic pintos are really good too.) a little salad with some avocado and you have a Delicioso Mexican meal!!!! COOK ON...........
Note: Quick poach- put enough water in a pan to cover breasts, add some spices, salt, pepper, thyme, whatever, or none. Bring water to simmer, add chicken, cover. Let simmer for 8 minutes, turn off heat and let stand in water for 20 minutes. Take out and shred.
We need more than your sorrow. We need a Trader Joe's!!! But it's not going to happen. There are (thankfully) not enough people in this rural area to support anything like a TJ's
ReplyDeleteWe do have a Mexican grocery store in Florence - maybe that will do. How about your recipe for refried beans??
