A delicious New Mexican enchilada that we had every year for our Christmas Eve dinner. Serve 2 to 3 enchiladas on a plate and surround with lettuce and tomatoes. Top with your choice of guacamole or sour cream or both.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 0.13 teaspoons salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 12 corns tortillas , 5 inch
  • 1 can chopped green chilies , 4 ounce
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Combine the chicken, sour cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dip the corn tortillas into the hot oil one at a time until softened, about 10 seconds each.

  3. 3

    Spoon a heaping tablespoon of chicken mixture onto each tortilla, spread down the center and roll into a cylinder. Place seam side down into the prepared baking dish.

  4. 4

    When all tortillas are filled and rolled, sprinkle the green chiles over all and top with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are hot, 12 to 15 minutes.
