Enchiladas

Enchilada Filling
2 Chicken Breasts
1Ranch Steak
1 canDiced Tomatoes
1 packetTaco Bell Taco Seasoning
1 tspChile Powder
1/2 tspCumin
1/2 tsp
Smoked Paprika

Vegetable Stock
2cupsPresoaked Beans (Pinto)
1 canBlack Beans (optional)
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

From: Made up as I go.


-Presoak Beans the night before


-Early in the day of the meal, start a crock pot on high heat


-Put everything in this list in the crock pot, and use enough veg stock to cover everything. Allow to simmer for the day.


-Check doneness of beans about 2 hours before dinner is served. If they are still a bit al dente take out the meats and pour all the fluid and beans into a pot. Add veg stock if needed and boil the beans until they become tender.


-Preheat Oven to 425


-Shred Chicken. Combine with some of the mixture from the beans (by the time they were done, the fluids were very reduced to a syrupy texture) and a fair amount of cheese. Stir in the can of Cream of Chicken soup. This should result in a fairly stiff mixture of all these ingredients. Should not be watery or very loose.


-Dice beef. Combine with some of the mixture from the beans, and a fair amount of Cheese. Add in some black beans for extra flavor.


Enchilada Assembly
RecipeEnchilada Fillings, Beef and Chicken
2 large cansEnchilada sauce, Red or Green
LOTSCheese, Mozzarella and Cheddar
30ct bagTortillas
2Glass Baking Dishes
From: Various sources


-Pour some Enchilada sauce in the two glass baking dishes, making a thin layer in the bottom.


-Pour more on a dish


-With clean hands, rub enchilada sauce from the dish into each tortilla, back and front as you go:


-Fill each moist tortilla with some filling. Roll it up and place it seam side down in the dish.


-Continue this until the mixture is gone. I used a smaller dish for beef enchiladas, and a larger dish that I filled completely with chicken enchiladas.


-pour more enchilada sauce on the enchiladas, until they are almost completely submerged in it.


-Cover generously with cheese.


-Bake until heated through and cheese is bubbly.


Makes good leftovers.
