ENCHILADAS ACAPULCO

This is so easy, so delicious, and did I mention easy? Mom and I had been toying with the enchilada recipes I've found here on Zaar that sparked our interest. I had been browsing the back of can labels (always on the lookout for recipes to try) and the "Acapulco" jumped out at me. I came home, made some adjustments to my old recipe, and this is what it turned out to be...a culinary vacation to Acapulco.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (canned chicken is fine)
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 -3 tablespoons old el paso taco seasoning mix
1/4 cup sour cream
1 (19 ounce) can green enchilada sauce (check the ethnic aisle for some really killer sauce, two small ones will work fine)
8 large flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken soup, chicken meat, 1 cup cheese, 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce, the sour cream, and the taco seasoning (more or less of this to taste).
  • Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan and spoon enough sauce from the can to cover the bottom with a thin layer.
  • Heat each tortilla in the microwave until soft enough to fold easily. Fill each tortilla and roll burrito-style. Place in the pan.
  • Pour all the remaining sauce on the top and sprinkle with the remaining one cup of cheese. Place in the oven to melt the cheese for approximately 20-30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Use high-quality corn tortillas for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Shred or dice the chicken into small pieces for even cooking and distribution in the enchiladas.
  • Make a Flavorful Sauce: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion, and tomatoes to create a flavorful enchilada sauce. Adjust the spices to your taste preference.
  • Don't Overfill the Tortillas: Fill the tortillas with a moderate amount of chicken and cheese to ensure they roll up easily and don't fall apart.
  • Bake or Pan-Fry: You can either bake the enchiladas in the oven or pan-fry them in a skillet. Baking results in a softer texture, while pan-frying gives a crispier exterior.
  • Top with Fresh Ingredients: Before serving, top the enchiladas with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and crumbled queso fresco for a burst of flavor and color.
