Denise, I haven't made chicken enchiladas, but beef enchiladas are SO easy! I have been making them like this for years and they go like hotcakes.
I use 2 large cans of enchilada sauce. open cans and pour sauce in a plate bowl or cake pan. Fry up 2-3 pounds of ground beef and drain. chop 1 large onion and set aside. Grate LOTS of cheddar chees and set aside. Now I use a 9x12 cake pan and pour some of the enchilade sauce in the pan to cover the bottom. Now you can start the assembly line. Take a corn tortilla, dip it in the bowl of enchilada sauce to coat it well. place the tortilla shell in the 9x12 pan close to the edge. place a couple of tablespoons of ground beef in the center of the shell, then spinkle with some of the onions, then sprinkle with chees. Fold up the sides and fasten the enchilade closed at the top with toothpicks. Continue making enchiladas in this manner, lining them up side by side until the pan is full. Then pour additional enchilada sauce on top of them (not too much) then sprinkle with a few onions and more cheese. Bake in a 350 oven for about 15-20 minutes until the enchiladas are bubbling and the cheese melts. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving. This will probably make 2 pans full. You can also use the remaining beef onions and cheese to make tacos to go with them. |
