ROTISSERIE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

 ROTISSERIE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

DINNER AT HOME

We had one of the Costco Rotisserie Chickens that cost around $6.  I was craving Enchiladas so I used the entire Chicken to make Enchiladas.  Pretty simple recipe that tasted delicious.  I used some of the extra filling to make Chicken Tacos a few days later.  You can also use the filling to make a delicious Taco Salad or Tostada.  One thing I learned here is not to overcook the chicken once in the pan.  If you leave on heat too long, the Chicken will get mushy and you will loose that nice Shredded Chicken texture.

DINNER AT HOME

Readers of my blog know that I complain a lot about the lack of good Mexican food in Hawaii.  Thats why you can find many recipes here that are far and away better than most places at a fraction of the cost.  I would go toe to toe with any restaurant with my Shredded Chicken Tacos (recipe below) and now I have turned that same recipe into Chicken Enchiladas and believe me they are great.  Used the same Shredded Chicken that I use in my Tacos and made a quick Enchilada Sauce using Tomato Sauce, Green Chilis, Onions, Garlic, Cumin and Chili Powder.  Added the sauce to the bottom of a pan and then filled sauce soaked flour tortillas with the Shredded Chicken Mixture.  Added a Mexican Cheese Blend and covered with more sauce and cheese.  Baked for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.  So easy and so delicious.
