Quick and Easy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

I got my picture in the paper for this one! My friends' husbands always fall in love with this when I bring it to parties! My 4 picky kids eat it! If you want to skip the charring step, simply tear the tortillas into fourths so they absorb the sauce better.

This is something I put together one night when I was trying to use up some random ingredients I had on hand. Came out really 'company good'. Soooo not good for a diet though. Makes a large pan.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
½ onion, diced
½ cup diced mild green chiles
1 (28 ounce) can green chile enchilada sauce

STACKED CAULIFLOWER ENCHILADA WITH GREEN CHILE SAUCE



Stacked Cauliflower Enchilada With Green Chile Sauce image

This recipe sounds so interesting to me that I decided to post it. If cauliflower can be prepared like mashed potatoes, then why not an enchilada! This recipe is designed for the slow cooker and comes from The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook. Note: You can vary the type of vegetables according to the season and what's in your garden or market at any given time. The recipe states that this dish is even better as leftovers.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head cauliflower
1 white onion, cut vertically into 8 pieces
1 cup black california olive, pitted and sliced
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
6 -9 corn tortillas
1/2 lb smoked cheddar cheese (or regular cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Trim and core the cauliflower, then wash and slice the head vertically (you will be placing it in layers in the casserole, so you want the pieces fairly thin). Pull the onion layers apart. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, onion, olives, tomatoes and beans using your hands.
  • Oil the inside of the slow cooker insert. Place 2-3 overlapping tortillas in the bottom of the insert. Add a layer of half the mixed vegetables and top it with a generous sprinkling of cheese (about one-third of the cheese). Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the layer.
  • Add another layer of tortillas, then the remaining vegetables and another one-third of the cheese. Pour on another 1/2 cup of sauce. Finish with an additional layer of tortillas and the remaining 2 1/2 cups sauce. (Even though you may appear to have an excess of sauce, much of it is absorbed into the tortillas and vegetables as they cook.).
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the cauliflower is tender. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese, cover, and cook an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the contents of the insert to sit for 10-15 minutes to set, then carefully scoop up generous individual servings of the enchilada into bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

GREEN ENCHILADA SKILLET CASSEROLE



Green Enchilada Skillet Casserole image

This shortcut take on enchiladas skips filling and rolling tortillas in favor of a freeform skillet dish. Diced cheese adds gooey pockets throughout the pan, without needing a huge amount, making the meal feel decadent, but not heavy.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup frozen riced mixed broccoli and cauliflower
1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
2 10-ounce cans green enchilada sauce (about 2 1/4 cups)
4 ounces pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese, diced
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Stack the tortillas and cut into 8 triangles each (or just tear them). Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake, stirring once, until crisp and lightly browned around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until mostly cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the meat is fully cooked, well coated and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the frozen riced vegetables and canned chiles and cook until the vegetables are tender and the skillet is dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the baked tortillas and enchilada sauce to the skillet and toss to combine. Stir in half the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. Bake until bubbly around the edges and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Top with the cilantro.

Meatless and full of cheese. Can't remember where I first stumbled across this recipe, but I've never found a cheese enchilada recipe that I liked better. You have to try this one to appreciate it. It really tastes MUCH better than it reads!

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
1/2 cup minced onion
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups colby-monterey jack cheese
1 medium onion, minced
oil (for frying)
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Melt butter in a medium sauce pan, and sprinkle in flour. Stirring constantly, allow flour to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly stir in half-and -half. Simmer, stirring frequently about 5 minutes, or until thickened. Add chiles,1/2 cup onion and cayenne, and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
  • Mix cheese and medium minced onion. Heat oil in a skillet,(you only need maybe half an inch) then dip the tortillas in hot oil, one at a time, for about 5 seconds each. Stack them on top of each other on a plate, covered with paper towels as you go.
  • Scoop cheese mixture (about half a cup or so per tortilla) onto tortillas, and roll up, placing seam side down in a 13 x 9 inches baking pan. When all tortillas are rolled, pour the green chile sauce over all, and top with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered in preheated oven, for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Great when garnished generously with sour cream.
