Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup cheddar cheese - shredded
• 1 cup jack cheese - shredded
• 1/2 cup frozen corn
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 cans Ortega green chilies
• 1/2 brown onion - diced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 3 cloves garlic - diced
• 1 can Green Las Palmas sauce (I use the picante one!)
• 12 corn tortillas
• 1/2 cup canola oil for frying tortillas (optional)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

1. First, season the chicken with the salt, pepper, cumin and paprika. Roast in an oven for 15 minutes at 350º. 

2. One the chicken has cooked, allow to cool so you can handle. Shred the chicken using 2 forks.

3. Add the shredded chicken, 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 3/4 cup of jack cheese, corn, sour cream, Ortega chilies, onion, paprika, cumin and garlic to a large bowl. mix together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Next take your tortillas and lightly fry them on each side for 30 seconds. Just so the have a little crispiness to them. This prevent the enchiladas from getting soggy. However, this step can be optional.

5. After lightly frying, coat each tortilla in the green Las Palmas sauce. Then fill each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture. Put the chicken mixture at the end closest to you and roll away from you. Place in a glass pyrex that is 13" X 9". Repeat until you have 2 rows of 6 enchiladas.

6. Place in an oven at 400º, uncovered for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, pour the remaining amount of Las Palmas over the enchiladas and cover with the remaining cheddar and jack cheese. Increase the oven to 425º for 10 minutes.

7. Pull out of the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. 

8. Top with sour cream, cilantro and radishes!
