Chicken enchiladas

Mexican food is one of our favorites. You can use mild or spicy sauces depending on your taste buds. We like it with some 'kick'. I used left over chicken breasts but I have also used a whole ready to eat chicken from the deli and shredded it. You can substitute the chicken with shedded beef or pork. This is a quick and easy supper.


8 large flour tortillas


4 cups cooked shredded chicken


1 cup green salsa


1/2 cup sour cream


1/2 cup guacamole


1 cup grated cheddar cheese


1/4 cup sliced green onions


1 cup chopped tomatoes


Shred chicken and stir in remaining ingredients. Lay your 8 tortillas on the counter and divide the chicken mixture between them. Make a pile on the middle of each one and roll over and fold so the filling stays in and you have 8 wraps. Place in a 9X13 pan.


TWO SAUCES


1 package enchilada sauce-make as directed on package (this is on the Mexican food isle at your grocer)


Pour over wrapped tortillas.


For the second sauce mix together:


1 10 oz can RO TEL (this is diced tomatoes & green chilies - if you can't find them just use a can of diced tomatoes and add some green chilies or just a bit of chunky salsa)


1/2 cup Velveeta cheese


Microwave for 1 minute at a time until the cheese is melted. Pour this over the other sauce.


Sprinkle generously with Tex Mex cheese or cheddar.


Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Garnish with peppers and a sprinkle of green onions, and extra sour cream.
