Categories     Mains

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 dried chipotle chiles, stems and seeds removed, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted cumin seeds, freshly ground
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
3 cups shredded queso fresco or Monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350ºF.
  • Combine the chiles, garlic, chili powder, cumin, chicken broth, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan and put over high heat.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the chiles are soft. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken along with half a teaspoon of the salt and sauté until the meat is just cooked through, approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Move the chicken from the pan to a plate or bowl. Add the onions to the same pan along with the other half teaspoon salt, decrease the heat to medium-low, and sweat for 4 to 6 minutes. Then add the garlic and oregano and cook until the onions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir the chicken into the mixture and remove from the heat.
  • Halve 3 of the tortillas
  • Lube a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray then dose half a cup of the sauce into the bottom of the dish. I usually spread it around with a large rubber spatula.
  • Dip 4 tortillas (three whole and one cut into halves) into the remaining sauce and lay them into the bottom of the dish. Cut 1 of the tortillas in half to evenly cover the bottom of the dish.
  • Top this with half of the chicken mixture and 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layering finishing with the remaining sauce and remaining cup of cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese on top is bubbly.

ENCHILADA LASAGNA BAKE



Enchilada Lasagna Bake image

This recipe takes the main ingredients of classic enchiladas and bakes them into a layered casserole reminiscent of lasagna. Mexican cheese blend, pickled jalapeños and cumin gives the creamy, cheesy béchamel sauce that ties it together a nice kick. You can tailor the recipe to what you have on hand (chicken instead of beef, or Cheddar in place of Mexican cheese blend), and make and bake it in advance if you like: Store it in the fridge for a few days or freeze it for a few months.

Provided by Elena Besser

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield About 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons minced pickled jalapeño peppers, optional
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk (or an unsweetened dairy-free alternative)
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 poblano peppers
1 pound ground beef (preferably 80 percent lean)
Two 10-ounce cans red enchilada sauce
8 medium flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup crushed nacho cheese flavored tortilla chips, such as Doritos (regular or spicy)
Shredded lettuce, for serving, optional
Sour cream, for serving, optional
Salsa, for serving, optional
Sliced pitted black olives, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the queso béchamel: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in the onion and pickled jalapeños if using and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the flour. Slowly whisk in the milk, whisking until no clumps remain. Continue to cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in the cheese and cumin, season with a pinch each of salt and pepper and stir until the cheese is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, placing the plastic directly onto the surface of the sauce, and refrigerate while you prepare the enchiladas.
  • For the enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Roast the poblano peppers, holding them with tongs, over an open flame on the stovetop until heavily blistered and charred, about 2 minutes per side (see Cook's Note). Place the poblanos in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When the peppers are cool enough to handle, cut in half and use the back of a knife or a spoon to scrape the seeds and the skin off the peppers. Roughly chop the peppers and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat from the pan. Stir one 10-ounce can of enchilada sauce into the beef.
  • Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the remaining can of enchilada sauce over the bottom of an 8 1/2-by-11-inch baking pan. Layer tortillas over the bottom of the dish so it's covered, overlapping as necessary. Spoon in half the beef mixture to cover, top with about 3/4 cup béchamel sauce, and sprinkle with half the poblano and 1/3 cup of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers again, ending with a layer of tortillas.
  • Cover the top layer with enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup cheese. Bake until browned and bubbling, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the crushed tortilla chips and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Allow the casserole to cool 15 minutes before serving. Slice into pieces and serve with the toppings of your choice for diners to garnish their servings. Enjoy!

ENCHILADA LASAGNA ROLL-UPS



Enchilada Lasagna Roll-Ups image

Can't decide between lasagna and enchiladas? No problem -- these easy enchilada-inspired roll-ups showcase the best of both worlds. Tender lasagna noodles stand in for corn tortillas and the creamy chicken filling is a snap to make.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
12 lasagna noodles
2 cups finely shredded rotisserie chicken (skin and bones discarded)
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapenos, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Two 10-ounce jars enchilada sauce
1/3 cup sour cream
4 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the lasagna noodles, stirring occasionally, 1 minute longer than the package directs for al dente. The pasta should be tender enough so that it will roll without cracking. Drain well and rinse with cold water. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, combine the chicken, jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, garlic, 1 cup cheese, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 1 tablespoon sour cream and the scallion whites in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce on to the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Lay half the cooked lasagna noodles on a clean work surface and spread a scant 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture over a noodle, covering it entirely. Starting with the short end, roll the noodle up. Transfer to the prepared baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining noodles and chicken mixture. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the lasagna rolls, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover with foil and bake until the rolls are heated through and the sauce is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cheese is browned on top, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons water into the remaining sour cream and drizzle over the top of the noodles. Sprinkle with the scallion greens.
