Dads Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Add oil and spices to a large one gallon bag. Mix thoroughly. Add chicken. Squoosh around to coat the chicken evenly. Yup, technical term, "squoosh". If you can, stick this in the fridge overnight. If not, don't sweat over it.
• At this point you can freeze the meat, add the packages of tortillas, and have an OAMC meal. Simply defrost everything later and assemble. Do not assemble this and then freeze, flour tortillas do not freeze well in the presence of liquid.
• Now, you can dump the spiced chicken in the crockpot for 6 hours on low. Or you can brown the chicken in a big skillet on medium high heat - 4-5 minutes each side, then add chicken stock and simmer about 20 minutes until the chicken about falls apart.
• Remove chicken from cooking vessel to a large bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Shred the chicken using two forks or your hands (or just look at it hard if you used your crockpot). Add the reserved cooking liquid and stir to combine.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Prep a 9x13-inch baking dish by pouring 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom and "Rolling" it around the bottom to evenly coat.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken onto the bottom third of a tortilla, roll tight, and place in the pan, seam side down. Continue until you have filled the dish or run out of chicken. Pour on the rest of the enchilada sauce, and sprinkle on the cheese.
• Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted and the sauce is bubbly and thick.
• Real Cook times: 20 to 30 minutes of work time (how fast can you roll them?); 6 hours cooking (if you use a crock pot) or 30 minutes cooking (if you use the stovetop); and 20 minutes in the oven.

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. You will need a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Spray it lightly with non-stick cooking oil. Brown the burger and the onion in a large frying pan. When meat is totally browned, drain and set aside to cool.
• In a 10 inch (or so) skillet heat about 1/4 cup corn oil. Using tongs, fry one tortilla at a time in the oil for about 3-5 seconds on each side. If the tortilla starts to bubble up and harden you've fried it too long. Keep it limp. Note: The tortilla will be very hot after it is fried. I keep a small bowl of ice water nearby or leave the cold water trickling in the kitchen sink to cool my fingers. You'll learn fast how to handle them, lol.
• Using the tongs, move the tortilla to a flat surface like a cutting board. Place two tablespoons burger onion mix and one strip cheese on the tortilla, roll it up and place in a casserole dish seam side down. Line them up either way. My wife Vickie and I do this as a team, one frying the tortillas and one rolling. Repeat until all the enchiladas are lined up in the casserole dish.
• Pour the chili over the enchiladas. Sprinkle left over hamburger on top. You can also spread some of your favorite grated cheese on top. Bake about 30 minutes until you think the cheese has melted. Serve with your favorite hot sauce.

Steps:

• In saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, then broth; cook until thick and bubbly.
• Remove from heat and add sour cream and half of cheese. Add hot sauce to taste.
• Stir 2/3 cup of sauce into chicken. Add onions.
• Fill tortillas with chicken mixture, roll up, and place in 9x13 pan.
• Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Chop onion and jalapeno.
• Saute onion and jalapeno in butter.
• While onion sautes brown the beef and sausage, drain.
• To a large stock/soup pot over low heat add beans, green chilis, and tomatoes.
• Add onion and jalapeno when tender to pot and add meat when brown.
• Add chili powder, garlic, and cumin.
• Cook for approximately 45 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently.
