Favorite Chicken Enchiladas


“I got this recipes from a friend and we LOVE it! It’s not your traditional enchiladas. This is another recipe where the rotisserie chicken comes in handy.”


2 cups cooked, diced chicken

2 tablespoons butter

1 medium onion, chopped

2 gloves garlic, minced

1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes

1 small can tomato sauce

1 small can diced green chilies

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon oregano

8 grain tortillas

3 cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

3/4 sour cream


1. Saute onion and garlic in butter. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato suace, green chilies, sugar and spices. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.


2. Spoon some of the sauce over the tortillas one at a time to soften a little. Top with a few pieces of chicken and both kinds of cheese, saving 1 cup or topping. Roll up and place seam down in a greased 9X13 pan.


3. Blend sour cream with the rest of the sauce and pour over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.


4. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes.


Ready in 1 hour. Makes 8 enchiladas.




**UPDATE: I didn't have diced green chilis so I used green enchilada sauce instead. I actually liked the enchilada sauce better. I probably used 2-3 tablespoons.
