New Mexico Style Green Chili Sour Cream Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas (1 at a time) for 5 seconds on each side to soften and make them pliable. Add more oil to pan as needed. Drain between layers of paper towel and keep warm.
• Divide chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and onion among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture begins to boil. Slowly add broth, stirring with a whisk until thickened. Mix in the sour cream and chiles, heating thoroughly but do not boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over the enchiladas.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, and cook until browned. Season with cumin and chili powder. Pour in the enchilada sauce, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• In a separate skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas. Don't fry them, just warm them until they are flexible.
• To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla in the enchilada sauce, and place it on a serving plate. Spoon some of the meat and sauce on, then add shredded lettuce, cheese, onion and sour cream. Top with another tortilla that has been dipped in the sauce. You may repeat the layering as many times as you wish depending on your appetite. Make additional stacks for each person. Top stacks with a fried egg, if desired.

Steps:

• Saute the onions, garlic and green chilies in butter until the onions are translucent.
• Add the soup, milk, salsa and spices.
• Simmer over very low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.
• While the sauce is simmering, fry the tortillas in hot oil until soft.
• (If the oil is hot enough, the tortillas only take a few seconds to get soft enough).
• Place tortillas on paper towels to get rid of excess oil.
• You can also soften the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds wrapped in a dishtowel.
• Add the sour cream to the enchilada sauce and stir well.
• These enchiladas are served flat, stacked like pancakes on individual plates.
• Place a tortilla on plate, cover with sauce and cheese. These are not rolled enchiladas but are flat like a stack of pancakes.
• Repeat layers with as many tortillas as each person wants.
• I like 3; my husband always has 5.
• Pop the plate in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese.
• You can also place cooked diced chicken in the layers.
• This can also be prepared casserole style in a 9X13 dish.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces.
• Brown in frying pan.
• In a large sauce pan over medium heat combine the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth.
• Then add the garlic, onion, green chile.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cover the bottom of a 12x9 baking dish with a thin layer of the sauce.
• Cover with half of the tortillas.
• Put half of the cooked chicken on top of the tortillas.
• Spread half of the remaining sauce over the chicken.
• Top with half of the cheese.
• Repeat by layering the remaining tortillas, chicken, sauce, then cheese.
• Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Allow several minutes to cool.
• Top with chopped onions and fresh chopped tomatoes (optional) and serve with sour cream.
• Yum.
