Tonight I quickly threw together some yummy Chicken Enchilada's!
Here's my recipe:
1 1/2-2 lbs Shredded Chicken
1 package of Enchilada Sauce Mix
1 can Tomato Sauce
Green Onion (no measurement)
1 can Olives
About 1 cup of Shredded Cheese (I used Cheddar Jack tonight)
8-10 Corn Tortilla's
I've done this a couple different ways. I'll tell ya how I did it tonight, and then I'll let ya in on a couple other ways I've made Enchiladas.
First you'll cook your chicken, tonight I boiled mine for about 30 minutes so it would shred easily.
While my chicken was boiling I went ahead and started my Enchilada Sauce. I just buy the packets of seasoning and follow the directions on the back. It called for a can of Tomato Sauce and 1 1/2 cups of Water. I like my sauce a little thicker so I only used about 1 cup of water.
When the Chicken is done boiling, shred it with 2 forks, and add about 1/4 of the Enchilada Sauce to the chicken.
Warm up tortillas on a damp paper towel in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
Drizzle some of the Enchilada Sauce on the bottom of your baking dish so they don't stick.
Add your chicken to your tortilla's, roll 'em up and put them in the dish.
Top with Cheese, Chopped Green Onion, Olives, Tomatoes or whatever else you'd like.
Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted!
Add some sour cream or guacamole if desired and ENJOY!
I've also done this in a casserole type meal if I don't have the time or the energy to roll the tortilla's =) All you do is layer your ingredients like you would Lasagna. A little sauce on the bottom of the pan, 2-3 tortilla's (it's easier if you cut them into squares) chicken, sauce, cheese veggies, repeat!
It's also handy to do the chicken in the crock-pot if you know you don't have time to boil it for 30 minutes. Just throw the whole chicken breasts in the crock pot with the Enchilada sauce and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours. This makes it easy to throw the enchilada's together, or whip it up into a casserole! I usually use this method on the weekends when I have to work.

Usually when I make Enchilada's we don't do a side dish. My family isn't big on Beans & Rice but occasionally we'll eat some chips & salsa with it!
