Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces spanish chorizo, removed from casings and diced
1 cup green bell pepper, sliced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and chopped
1 bay leaf
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 (14 ounce) cans fire-roasted tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 pinch ground cinnamon

2 cups Mexican blend cheese
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas, charred in dry pan

Steps:

  • Brown the chorizo in a large skillet; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve two tablespoons rendered fat from the pan and add bell peppers, onion, jalapeno and garlic. Saute until browned and softened, about five minutes.
  • Add the bay leaf, paprika, cinnamon and salt and pepper. Cook til fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce and simmer to thicken the sauce, about 15 minutes.

  • Combine the cooled down chorizo with the chicken and half the cheese. Wrap the filling inside the charred tortillas and arrange in a casserole dish, cover with the remaining sauce and cheese.
  • To serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the enchiladas until hot through and brown and bubbly, 15 minutes.

These enchiladas are the perfect comfort food. They're cheesy, flavorful, and so satisfying. I love to serve them with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Meh. These enchiladas were just okay. The chicken and chorizo were dry, and the sauce was too spicy for my taste. I probably won't make them again.

I tried this recipe last weekend, and it was a disaster. The enchiladas were bland and dry, and the sauce was too thin. I think I'll stick to my old enchilada recipe.

My oh my! These enchiladas are like a fiesta of flavors in my mouth. They've got just the right amount of heat, and the chicken and chorizo blend perfectly together. I used my own homemade enchilada sauce, and it was a total hit with my family. Highl
