How To Make chicken enchalatas
-
Step 1Cook chicken fully (boil or bake). If chicken is frozen cook in oven at 450 degrees for 15 mins (should be white inside and out when sliced)
-
Step 2While chicken is cooking in a large bowl, open cream cheese and set aside bring it to room temperature.
-
Step 3Chop desired amount of onions (optional) and place in large bowl with cream cheese.
-
Step 4Add fresh pressed garlic.
-
Step 5Drain chilies & Jalapenos (if you don't like spicy then skip the jalapenos), place in large bowl with other ingredients.
-
Step 6When chicken is fully cooked either set aside until you can touch it or start shredding chicken, & place on top of cream cheese to soften.
-
Step 7Add Heavy whipping cream until desired moistness (you don't want it runny just enough for the ingredients to mash together)
-
Step 8Mix all ingredients together (I use my hands)
-
Step 9Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-
Step 10Grease a 13 x 9 baking dish (2 dishes if using 16 tortias)
-
Step 11Place desired amount (1/2 cup) of filling into tortias and roll shut.
-
Step 12Cover dish (s) with enchalata sauce (red or green), and top with grated cheese.
-
Step 13Place 1 dish at a time in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly.
-
Step 14Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes and serve.
