I made some amazing chicken enchilada/burritos tonight... I cant decide which word to use cause I used flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas ... I think they would be good with either one, but all I had was flour... I had some chicken breast that I got on sale, and I boiled that in water seasoned with onions, celery, carrots, poultry seasoning, pepper, thyme a little garlic powder... I saved the broth so I can use it to cook some pulled pork... Anyway... I used some of the breast in quesadillas for the kids, but I guess I had 3-4 left over. I have never in my life had chicken enchiladas, but I wanted to try it... so... I looked up a few recipes and made up my own... forgive me, much of this is approximation... First I cooked some diced onion, and garlic (I cheated and got the garlic out of a jar) in butter till the onion was translucent... then I added partially/mostly drained rotel (only I used the cheap version... green chilies and tomatoes) ... and a brick of cheap (store brand) cream cheese... melted that all together, then added about a cup and a half or so of refried beans, and two cups of pintos.... then I cut that chicken up and added it to my creation.... I added some taco seasoning (I buy mine in a big spice bottle... maybe a teaspoon... IDK ... I just sprinkled it on..... stirred that and cooked it together... then made a test pan of about 12 burrito/enchiladas... sprayed the pan with nonstick cook spray and rolled some of the mixture with Mexican blend cheese in fajita sized flour tortillas and lined them in my cake pan.... covered them with some hot enchilada sauce and more Mexican cheese and baked till the cheese was melted.... they were really good!I have four more in the oven waiting for the old goat to get in from work tonight, and a tray of twenty to take to my TEEA meeting tomorrow.... so it made quite a bit.... I may post a pic tomorrow... I have to go read to my kid so he will go to sleep tonight ;)
