Easy Green Chile Enchiladas

(Pioneer Woman)
  • 1 whole Onion, Diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 can (15 Ounce) Green Enchilada Sauce
  • 2 cans (4 Ounce) Chopped Green Chilies
  • 12 whole Corn Tortillas
  • 2 cups Freshly Grated Cheddar (or Cheddar-jack) Cheese (or Any Cheese You'd Like)
  • Sour Cream
  • Salsa
  • Pico De Gallo (optional)
  • Guacamole (optional)
  • Cilantro Leaves, Optional

Preparation Instructions

In a small skillet, saute onions with the butter over medium-low heat until the onions are nice and golden brown.

In a small saucepan, combine green enchilada sauce with green chilies and heat until very warm.
In the oven (on a baking sheet) or microwave, melt cheese all over the top of each tortilla so that it covers most of the surface area.

To serve, stack three cheesy tortillas on top of one another. Spoon green sauce over the top and add salsa, sour cream, pico de gallo, and cilantro as needed.

Delish and so, so easy!
(Save extra sauce for use on nachos, quesadillas, chicken, etc.)

Chicken Tacos

From Pioneer Woman

16 whole Corn Tortillas (small Size)
4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Pieces
Salt, Cumin, Chili Powder To Taste (or Use Taco Seasoning)
2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
2 cans (4 Ounce) Diced Green Chilies
1-½ cup Finely Grated Cheese (cheddar Or Cheddar/jack Mix)
Sour Cream
Hot Sauce (Chulula Or Other Brand)
2 cups Thinly Sliced Romaine Lettuce (or Any Lettuce)
4 whole Roma Tomatoes, Diced
Canola Oil, For Frying Tacos

Season diced chicken liberally. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for a couple of minutes. Dump in the diced green chilies. Stir and cook until chicken is totally done inside. Turn off heat and set aside.

Have all other ingredients—grated cheese, sliced lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream, and hot sauce—ready.

Also have a plate ready, as well as a stack of five or six paper towels to hold in your hand.

TO FRY

To fry the tacos, heat a couple of inches of canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high. Place some chicken in the middle of a tortilla, then fold tortilla in half. Clamp the tortilla shut with a pair of heat-proof metal tongs, then carefully lay the taco—one side down—in the oil. As you lay it in the oil, use the tongs to hold the top side down for a few seconds to form it in place. Once it stays put, repeat with two other tacos. Turn tacos after 30 to 45 seconds, or when each side gets light golden brown (not too brown.)

One at a time, remove tacos from the pan with tongs, holding sideways as you remove them to allow oil to drip out of the sides. Place the taco in the stack of paper towels. Fold the sides and corners around the taco to tightly hold it, then give it three or four shakes to remove excess oil. Remove it from the paper towels and place on a plate. Repeat with other tacos in the pan.

As you continue frying the other tacos, have someone carefully place some grated cheese inside the tops of the tacos (gently pry them open just enough to place the cheese in). Then just let them sit until ready to serve—the cheese will melt as it sits in the warm taco.

To serve, garnish in this order: a smear of sour cream, dashes of hot sauce, shredded lettuce, diced tomato. You’ll need to slightly open up the tops of the tacos to get all the garnishes in there.

Tacos will be hot for a minute or two after frying, so don’t rush into eating! They’ll stay nice and warm for a little while after frying.

1/4 onion chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and pepper

Relief Society Crock Pot Enchiladas

From Mesa 21st Ward Relief Society


Brown one pound ground beef or ground round together with one small diced onion.

Add one small can of green chilies, one package of chili seasoning mix and one cup water. Let simmer a bit.

(NOTE:  It's tempting to use Taco Seasoning Mix and go for it if you want, but for some reason it's not as good together as the Chili Seasoning Mix. But that's just me.)

Grease crock pot and layer corn tortillas, meat mixture, grated cheese and sliced black olives.

In the end top with the cheese and olives. Cook in covered crock pot one hour on high or four hours on low.

Adding some FRESH lime juice to it doesn't hurt either.
