Say some nice stuff about the recipe Jed. (Maybe after I test it.)
OK, tested and it’s pretty good. You could add spinach and/or black beans or swap out the chicken for shrimp or beef.
- 12.5 oz can chicken, drained
- 1cup pepper jack cheese
- 1cup cheddar cheese
- 4oz can diced green chilies
- 28oz enchilada sauce or red or green salsa with 2 TBS tomato paste
- 8flour tortillas
Preheat oven to 350°F.
For salsa:
Pour salsa into a 2 qt pan. Add 2 TBS tomato paste. Heat to boil, reduce to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Use a stick blender or regular blender to puree. Adjust thickness with additional tomato paste or simmer longer.
Assemble:
Spread ½ cup of the sauce onto the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish.
In a medium size bowl, combine the DRAINED chicken, diced green chilis, ¾ cup pepper jack, ¾ cup cheddar, and ½ cup of the sauce.
Evenly fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture and then roll and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Cover with remaining sauce and cheese.
Bake:
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.
