Ingredients

  1. Bell pepper (diced)
  2. Onion (chopped)
  3. Shredded Cheese
  4. Garlic
  5. Jalapeños (chopped)
  6. Meat (chicken, steak, taco meat, or chorizo)
  7. Enchilada sauce (20 oz)
  8. Tortillas (12 small)
  9. Olive oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    For shredded chicken: add minced garlic to half the enchilada sauce in deep skillet and heat to boiling. Season thawed chicken breasts and nestle into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until chicken is cooked through (15-20 min). Remove chicken, set sauce aside, and shred the chicken once cool.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 425. Mix meat, half the enchilada sauce (the half with the garlic if doing the shredded chicken), peppers, onions, jalapeños, and some of the cheese in a large bowl. Grease a deep baking pan. Microwave the tortillas to warm them, fill with the mixture, roll them and place seam down in the pan.

  3. 3

    Brush tops of tortillas with olive oil, and place pan in oven and bake until tortillas are golden brown (about 10 min).

  4. 4

    Reduce temp to 400 deg. Remove pan from oven and cover with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 min. Remove from oven and let stand 5 min before serving

  5. 5

    Alternatively, 1 can black beans and 1 can pinto beans (drained and rinsed) can be substituted for the meat, diced zucchini and squash added, and 1 can petite diced tomatoes and green chilis added (drained) to make vegetable enchiladas
