Chicken Enchiritos image

I don't care for corn tortillas, but LOVE flour tortillas! I wanted to make enchiladas, but as I was preparing them, this is what evolved. Absolutely one of the best Mexican-style dishes I've made! I used Goya Ranchero refried beans and Goya spicy tomato sauce with chiles.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 enchiritos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves or 2 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 cups chicken stock
1 small green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces Mexican tomato sauce
14 ounces stewed tomatoes, broken up
10 ounces red enchilada sauce
4 ounces diced green chilies
8 flour tortillas, 10-inch size
16 ounces spicy refried beans
4 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Poach chicken breasts in stock just until no longer pink. Remove, cool and shred with 2 forks.
  • Make sauce: Saute onions, peppers and garlic in oil just until soft. Add oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Add tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, red enchilada sauce and green chiles.
  • Spread enough sauce to cover the bottom of a 9" by 15" glass baking dish.
  • Microwave 2 tortillas at a time for 15 seconds and assemble before microwaving the next 2.
  • Assemble enchiritos: Spread center of a tortilla with about 2 T. beans, add about 3 T. shredded chicken and top with about 1/3 cup cheese. Roll up burrito-style, tucking in sides and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are used. You will have to keep assessing amounts as you go to divide evenly.
  • Pour the rest of the sauce over enchiritos and top with the rest of the cheese.
  • Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, or until bubbly and cheese is beginning to brown.
