Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
1 small white onion, peeled and diced
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into small 1/2-inch pieces
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 large flour tortillas
3 cups Mexican-blend shredded cheese
1 batch red enchilada sauce
optional toppings: fresh cilantro, chopped red onions, diced avocado, sour cream, and/or crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare your enchilada sauce.
  • In large sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add diced chicken and green chiles, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté the mixture for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add in the beans and stir until evenly combined. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, set up an assembly line including: tortillas, enchilada sauce, chicken mixture, and cheese. Lay out a tortilla, and spread two tablespoons of sauce over the surface of the tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in a line down the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. Roll up tortilla and place in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Assemble the remaining enchiladas. Then spread any remaining sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas, followed by any extra cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until the enchiladas are cooked through and the tortillas are slightly crispy on the outside. Transfer the baking dish to a wire baking rack.
  • Serve the enchiladas immediately while they're nice and hot and melty, garnished with lots of fresh toppings. Enjoy!

LONE STAR CHICKEN STEW



Lone Star Chicken Stew image

Huey's recipe for Lone Star Chicken Stew, from a NicheDigitalMedia dvd, Sambal oelek is Indonesian in origin and is a salty paste made from ground chillies and vinegar. Way too hot for my tastes. If you don't like your food hot and spicy, omit it and use instead some of your favourite herbs. And if you are using it, be careful not to add too much salt!

LL'S FAVORITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Ll's Favorite Chicken Enchiladas image

This is my own personal recipe that we have loved for years. I just never got around to writing it down in recipe form. I have also used 1 pkg. Lawry's fajita marinade instead of the rub. The tortillas could be steamed in a steamer in stead of being fried.

Provided by Lavender Lynn

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 enchiladas, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1/2 cup Mexican seasoning (Mexican Seasoning Mix , I used the whole recipe minus the red peppers)
1 small onion, chopped finely (optional)
24 corn tortillas
1 1/2 lbs cheese, grated (I use mexican combination or monterey jack)
28 ounces red enchilada sauce (I use mild or use medium if you like things hotter, I use El Pato brand)
24 ounces sour cream (I have used regular and low-fat)
oil for frying tortilla
guacamole

Steps:

  • This recipe uses 2 13x9 pans. 12 enchiladas per pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 35 minutes total.
  • Put the rub on the chicken. (or marinate the chicken breasts for 30 minutes.).
  • Cook the breasts on broil for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Let the breasts cool for 15 minutes.
  • Chop the chicken breasts finely. Set aside.
  • If using onions add them to chicken .
  • Combine enchilada sauce and sour cream in large saucepan. Heat on low.
  • Soften tortillas on both sides in oil, or steam. I drain torillas on paper towels until used.
  • Put 4 serving spoons of sauce in the bottom of pan.
  • Dip tortilla into sauce mixture on both sides of tortilla.
  • Put tortilla in pan, add 1 heaping serving spoon chicken and then cheese into tortilla.
  • Wrap up and proceed with the next 11 tortillas.
  • Set this pan aside and proceed with the rest of enchiladas in other pan.
  • Divide the leftover sauce over the the enchiladas in both pans.
  • Spread the last 8 oz. of grated cheese between the 2 pans. I use approximately 8 oz cheese per pan.
  • Cover with foil. At this point I refrigerate one pan for later in the week.
  • Bake pan for 20 minutes , then remove foil and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let set 10 minutes.
  • Serve with guacamole.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Organic, free-range chicken and pasture-raised eggs are all great options.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheese blends. A combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca is a classic choice, but you can also try using mozzarella, pepper Jack, or Gouda.
  • If you don't have any enchilada sauce on hand, you can easily make your own. Simply blend together some tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili peppers, and spices.
  • To prevent the enchiladas from sticking to the pan, make sure to grease it well before baking.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought tortillas. However, if you have the time, making your own tortillas is definitely worth the effort.

Conclusion:

Lone Star Chicken Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your Lone Star Chicken Enchiladas are always a hit.
