Euphoric Enchiladas



This is the definitive recipe for chicken enchiladas, in my opinion.
Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Chicken Breasts (enough to make 2-3+ cups shredded chicken)

  • 1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup

  • Chicken Broth (optional - water works too)

  • 1 cup Picante Sauce (Pace or other, thicker brand)

  • Small can of enchilada sauce

  • 3+ Cups shredded cheese

  • Package of tortillas - I use corn, which comes in a pack of about 15


1. Cook the chicken however you like. I have made this recipe with chicken that came off of the grill and also with chicken that I just boiled. The important thing is that it be cooked thoroughly. Let it cool a bit before the next step

2. Shred the chicken. I just put the pieces in a blender and let-'er rip.

3. Prepare the Cream of Chicken Soup. Use a larger pot as you will be mixing the other ingredients into the soup mixture as you go. Instead of a can of water, I use a can of Chicken Broth here.

4. Into the chicken broth, add 1 cup of Picante Sauce and half of the cheese, stir

5. Into this mixture, add in the shredded chicken. I try to add in as much as I can until the mixture is thick enough to spoon up easily. Let the mixture cool.

6. Fill each tortilla with about 2 spoons of the chicken mixture and roll.

Place into a pan. Top with enchilada sauce and remaining cheese.

Finally, place into a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes (until the cheese is melted and everything is bubbling.

Let your enchiladas cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
