This can make 2 pans of
enchiladas if you do the roll-up method and split the cheese and
sauce before making the first pan.
Ingredients
Sauce
3-4 cloves garlic, very finely minced
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce *
- 1 for mild
- 2-3 for medium
- 3+ for hot
-- can leave seeds in or take them out
2 tsp chili powder (more if you want it more spicy)
1 1/2 tsp roasted cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 oz can tomato paste
2 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 Tbsp Agave Nectar or 1 Tbsp raw sugar
3 Tbsp corn starch mixed in 3 Tbsp hot water
Enchiladas
3 cups diced chicken
1 15 oz can beans (black, pinto, kidney, etc..), rinsed and drained
1 10 oz can mild Rotel (diced tomatoes ok if no Rotel)
1 cup organic corn kernels
3 cups shredded cheese
24 flour tortillas (8" size) (you can use corn tortillas
if desired)
2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
Garnish
Green onions, chopped
1-2 Tomatoes, chopped
Directions
Mix all of the enchilada sauce recipes in a sauce pan and heat
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and reseason
as needed with more salt and pepper. Cook another 15 minutes.
This yielded about 3 cups of sauce when done.
Mix the chicken, beans, rotel, corn, and 1/2 of the cheese in
a large bowl.
Use one of the options below to assemble the enchiladas.
Option 1: Layer some tortillas on the bottom of the dish,
add some of the chicken mix, a bit of cheese, and a little of
the sauce. Continue until the dish is about 3/4 full or until
ingredients run out. Top with remaining cheese and sauce.
Option 2: Place a large spoonful of the chicken mixture into
each tortilla and roll up. Continue until a single layer of enchiladas
inhabit the dish. Top with remaining cheese and sauce.
Cover and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Uncover and bake another 15 minutes.
Let rest 5 minutes, garnish with the tomato and green onion.
