Chicken Enchilada Balls Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, season ground chicken with Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix.
• Incorporate the breadcrumbs and combine everything well by stirring with a spoon or mixing with your fingers.
• With your hands, form 1 inch meatballs and place on a greased baking sheet.
• Broil meatballs in the oven until browned for about 5 to 8 minutes. Oven rack should be about 6 inches away from the broiler. Turn meatballs halfway through.
• Transfer meatballs to a slow cooker.
• Pour enchilada sauce over meatballs and make sure they all get coated.
• Cover and cook on medium-low for 2 hours until meatballs are cooked through and have soaked some of the enchilada sauce.
• Serve with the enchilada sauce left in the slow cooker and cover with cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the cornbread, half of the enchilada sauce, half of the cheese, and the salt. Crumble the beef into the mixture, and blend well using your hands. Shape meat into 1 inch balls, and place on a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan, or any cookie sheet with sides to catch the grease.
• Bake for 18 to 22 minutes in the preheated oven, until the meat is cooked through.
• While the meatballs are cooking, warm the tomato sauce and remaining enchilada sauce in a saucepan. Remove the meatballs from the pan using a slotted spoon, and place in a serving dish. Pour the heated sauce over them, and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Provide toothpicks for serving.

Steps:

• Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
• Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
• Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.
• Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.
