Fiesta Enchiladas
12 medium flour or corn tortillas
2 whole cooked chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
6 green onions, minced
Salt
Pepper to taste
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
2 cups grated jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
Oil for frying, if corn tortillas are used
Cilantro and avocado slices for garnish (optional)
Prepare the chicken breasts by removing bone and skin. Shred the meat into long
pieces. Mash the cream cheese with a spoon until smooth. Mix in chicken, green
onions, salt, pepper, and one half of the diced chiles. Mix in 1 cup of the jack
cheese. This is the filling for the enchiladas and may be prepared ahead. If
flour tortillas are used, simply heat until limp in a frying pan. If you use
corn tortillas, heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry each tortilla until
limp, adding oil as needed.
Fill each tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of the filling. Roll the tortilla
and place seam-side down in a lightly greased baking pan. Mix the sour cream
with tomato sauce, chili powder, and remaining diced chiles. Spoon over
tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes at 325
degrees F. They should be just hot, with the cheese melted.
Garnish as desired. Cilantro leaves and pale green avocado slices make a lovely
topping.
