QUICK AND EASY GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
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.

GREEN CHILE STACKED ENCHILADAS
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Run 1 tortilla through the hot oil until softened, 2 to 3 seconds per side; transfer to a plate. Layer a dry tortilla on top of the cooked tortilla on the plate. Cook another tortilla in the hot oil and stack on the dry tortilla. Repeat process until all the tortillas are used.
- Cook and stir chicken and onion in the same skillet, adding more oil if needed, until chicken is 2/3 done, about 10 minutes. Add green chiles; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and onions are tender, 5 to 10 minutes more.
- Layer tortillas in a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with chicken mixture, enchilada sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, ending with sauce and cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool until set, 5 to 10 minutes.

STACKED CAULIFLOWER ENCHILADA WITH GREEN CHILE SAUCE
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.

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
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.

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.

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.
