Directions
Enchiladas Rojas Mexicana (Chicken), This is my sister-in-law’s recipe for wonderful chicken enchiladas with red sauce We use Recipe #197786 for the enchilada sauce I believe the salsa really makes the dish It takes some time, but is well worth it If you’re in a hurry, you can start with left over chicken, or rotisserie chicken , Delicioso! used 4 or 5 boneless, skinless chicken _thighs_ (not breasts); and I ground them up with the shredder fixture in the Quisinart with enough dried cilantro to make it look pretty Fresh cilantro (which hubby and I grew in our garden one year) are not the _best_ of friends, so Instead of only Monterey Jack, used a blend of finely shredded jack and chedder And instead of the salsa suggested here, used mild and medium Chi-Chi’s (my fave salsa) – just a cup or so, warmed up on the stove I dipped the pan-fried tortillas (great idea – who knew?!!?) into the salsa before rolling the chicken into them And then I poured a liberal amount of Enchilada Sauce Recipe # 12877 over the rolled enchiladas (don’t be afraid to be _extremely_ generous with the sauce, becuase the tortillas really absorb the moisture) and topped with the cheese to bake Next time, I’ll make these with fried chicken, the way mom did when we were growing up 🙂 Thank you for the detailed instructions and a great recipe Oh! P S Yes, and this definitely is a time-consuming meal to make
