Enchilada Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 15 oz jar Salsa Verde

  • 4 oz of Canned Green Chilies

  • ¼ bunch of Cilantro

  • Optional: 1 Jalapeño

Blend the salsa verde, green chilies and cilantro. Add a Jalapeño for extra spice if desired.

Assembling the Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 20 Corn Tortillas

  • Shredded Chicken Filling (prepared from previous steps)

  • Enchilada Topping Sauce (prepared from previous steps)

  • ½ Yellow Onion, minced

  • 8 oz Munster Cheese (shredded)

  • Corn/Vegetable Oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until pliable. This step adds flavor and helps prevent the tortillas from becoming too soggy.

Lay out the toasted tortillas on a clean surface.

Spoon a generous portion of the shredded chicken filling onto each tortilla.

Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased casserole dish.

Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged in the casserole dish, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over them.

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
