Cooks Tips:


Cilantro, also called Chinese parsley or Coriander is a fresh herb with bright green leaves and a lively pungent fragrance. Sold in bunches, it adds distinctive flavor to Mexican and Asian foods. To store Cilantro, place bunch with stem ends down in a glass filled with water just enough to cover 1” of the stems. Cover loosely with a plastic bag and refrigerate up to 5 days.





Tool Tips:


For a quick way to snip fresh cilantro, parsley and other herbs without a mess, place the herbs in a small bowl and snip with the kitchen shears.





Use the Hold N’ Slice to easily shred chicken. The strong stainless prongs will separate cooked chicken meat into long thin strands.

Here's my Chicken Enchilada Recipe





Cooked chicken (4-5 breasts?)


Green Chilis (1 can)


Green Chili Enchilada sauce in a can (1-2 large cans)


Pepper Jack Cheese


Cheddar Cheese


Motzerella Cheese


Canned Chili Beans (pinto with chili flavoring) (1 can)


Canned diced tomatos (1 Can)


Sliced black olives (1 Can - save some whole ones for garnish)


Salt


Pepper


Cuman


Garlic


Onion


Flour Tortillas (about 8-12 I like the buritto size)





You'll need cooked chicken, you can either cut and cook in a non-stick pan, or boil and shred.. depending on what sort of chicken you prefer. Either way I season it with salt/pepper, cuman, garlic and onion.





Once the chicken is cooked and either cut up or shredded, I add to it a can of diced green chilis (the ones that aren't spicy).





Pour about a 1/2 -1/3 cup of the green chili enchilada sauce in your 9x12 pan to barely cover the bottom.





Fill each tortilla with about 1/4-1/2 cup chicken,


1-2 Tblspoons of chili beans


1 Tblspoon of tomato


1Tblspoon olives


PepperJack and Cheddar to your liking





Roll up and place in your 9x12 pan.





Once you've filled the pan with rolled tortillas, cover with the rest of your green chili enchilada sauce. They don't have to be completely submerged, but at least wet all across the top.





Sprinkle the entire thing with lots of motzeralla cheese, and a little of the pepper jack and cheddar. I usually put a row of whole olives down the middle also (this prevents the foil from getting to the cheese and sticking)





Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and seal the foil over your pan.





Cook for 45 min-1 hour, remove the foil for the last 10-15 minutes to let the cheese bubble and begin to brown.





Cool for 10 minutes or so, and serve with spanish rice, or a nice salad!





Good luck!
