Yield 12 shells

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 shells jumbo pasta shell
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup white onion, chopped
¼ cup green chile
1 cup chicken, shredded
½ teaspoon cumin
½ tablespoon garlic
pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ cup queso fresco
½ cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon fresh scallions, for garnish
10 oz green enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside to cool.
  • Pour the oil in a pan, then add the onions and cook on medium heat until softened. Add the green chiles, chicken, and spices and stir to combine. Cook on low heat for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Place chicken mixture in a bowl. Add ricotta, queso fresco, and monterey jack and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Stuff each shell with a large spoonful of the mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Coat the bottom of a baking dish with a thin layer of green enchilada sauce. Place the pasta shells in the dish in a single layer.
  • Cover with the rest of the enchilada sauce and some additional queso fresco and monterey jack.
  • Bake for 30 minutes (or until the cheese has melted and the sauce begins to bubble around the edges). Top with scallions.
  • Enjoy!

These shells were a disaster! The filling was watery and the shells were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought these shells were just okay. The filling was a little bland and the shells were a bit too soft for my liking.

These shells were a little too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less cheese next time.

I made these shells for my family and they loved them. The only thing I would change is to add a little more cheese to the filling.

These shells are a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I also like to add some black beans or corn to the filling.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but these shells were surprisingly good. The filling was flavorful and the shells were perfectly cooked.

These shells are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheese and the enchilada sauce, and they don't even realize they're eating spinach and zucchini.

I've made these shells several times and they're always a hit. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to eat.

These shells were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use a milder enchilada sauce next time.
