Chicken Spinach Chipotle Enchilada Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Tear 1 tortilla into pieces and transfer to a blender. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, cilantro, chipotle and adobo, and cumin; puree until smooth.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pureed sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Meanwhile, coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. Mix the chicken, sour cream, 1/2 cup of each cheese and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Warm the remaining 8 tortillas in the microwave as the label directs. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll up to enclose. Arrange side by side in the prepared baking dish and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Broil the enchiladas until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the tomato sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Broil until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with avocado and scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir green onions and garlic in butter until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Stir chicken, spinach, chili powder, black pepper, and salt into the green onion mixture and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix ricotta cheese, sour cream, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese into chicken mixture until thoroughly combined. Reserve remaining Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses for topping.
• Place tortillas into a plastic bag, seal bag, and microwave on high until warm and soft, 30 to 45 seconds. Spoon about 3/4 cup of chicken filling down the center of each tortilla in a line. Roll tortillas around filling and place with seam sides down into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Pour enchilada sauce over filled enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbling and cheese topping is browned at the edges, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Combine enchilada sauce, sour cream and peppers. Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add spinach; cook 2 to 3 min. or just until wilted, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Add chicken and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce mixture; mix lightly.
• Spread half the remaining enchilada sauce mixture onto bottom of 8-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; cover with 4 tortillas, cutting into pieces and overlapping edges as necessary to form even layer. Top with half each of the chicken mixture and cheese; repeat all layers. Cover.
• Bake 20 min. or until heated through, uncovering after 15 min. Sprinkle with onions.

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, enchilada sauce, green chiles and chipotle peppers in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat, stir everything to combine, and cook for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken, and using 2 forks, shred the chicken. Reserve all of the sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 375° F.
• In a medium sized skillet, layer the ingredient, starting with a layer of sauce followed by 3 tortillas, 1/2 of the chicken, 1/2 of the black beans, 1/2 of the corn, 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat for the second layer with the remaining sauce, tortillas, chicken, black beans, corn and cheese.
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes uncovered, until bubbly and cheese has melted and started to brown on top. Top with scallions and cilantro to serve. Cut into wedges as needed.
