Betty's Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde. These are flour tortillas, stuffed with a mixture of shredded chicken, sour cream, cilantro, green chiles, and Pepper Jack cheese, baked in the oven, and then topped with salsa verde and toppings, such as chopped tomatoes, green onion, avocado, black olives, cilantro, and sour cream. Scrumptious!

Ingredients:

3 cups shredded, cooked chicken (I cooked salted boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a crock pot for 8 hours until tender, but, if you have leftover chicken, that would be perfect!)
2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
4-oz. can diced green chiles, drained
½ cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
pkg. of ten 8-inch soft taco flour tortillas (I only used 9 of them.)
cooking oil spray
16-oz. jar salsa verde
Toppings: sour cream chopped tomatoes chopped avocados chopped green onions sliced black olives chopped fresh cilantro

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups shredded, cooked chicken, 2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese, a 4-oz. can of drained green chiles, ½ cup sour cream, and 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well. Spoon about 1/10 of chicken mixture down the center of each flour tortilla and roll up. Place in a 13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch baking dish which has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Place each tortilla seam side down, and fit them closely together. Spray the top of the rolled tortillas with cooking oil spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and spoon a 16-oz. jar of salsa verde over the hot enchiladas. Top with sour cream, chopped tomatoes, chopped avocados, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately! This is a great, healthy, *beautiful* one-dish meal that is great for parties, or any meal! I hope you enjoy it! --Betty 

Thanks for this recipe! Im going to use my crockpot...what liquid do you use? and how much?

[bettyskitchen]

@ahsookie1 I would add about 1/4 cup water in the bottom and then stack everything else on top of that. With the lid on it will stay nice and moist.

@lizalvarez05 Close--I think flautas are generally deep-fried.

Hey Deutschesland, Please add a recipe for Jagerschnitzel mit pommes frittes and mushroom sauce. Bitte auch excuse my spelling as I am an old cold war vet and need my Hunters Schnitzel WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE. I am making Enchiladas tonight Betty and this will be the first time I am making them crunchy. Yummmmmmmm

[jacklynjackman]

There is no wrong way to make enchiladas. I like this recipe :)

I don't mean to be rude, but those arent "Enchiladas" they actually look like tacos, something more like flautas. One tip: Corn Tortillas are the BEST for enchiladas, and enchiladas were never meant to be baked. Tortillas just warmed/lightly fried smothered in the sauce, rolled with crumbly cheese/onions & top with same thing but different sauce. My mom makes traditional enchiladas and they are simple and delicious, but NOT with flour tortillas. At first I thought you were making burritos, LOL!

thank you so much for the upload, i am having a huge party in a few days and this will be a #1 hit. good ideas for social gatherings and parties! this beats indian food anyday. me and my dad are indian from india. but we hate indian food, we all prefer mexican food. i love enchiladas with both cheese and beef!

I made these last night, they were a HUGE hit. This is coming from someone who only has basic cooking skills, you made it so easy and it was actually fun! My mom and everyone else loved them. Thanks Betty!
