Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas (flour tortilla)

Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas (flour tortilla) : 5 out of 5 enjoyed

Cooking something I am more familiar with seems so much easier. It's not a traditional enchilada dish because I made it with four tortilla instead of corn. My husband said he had it once with corn and he didn't like it. I think the secret to making it taste better it to fry the corn tortilla a little before preparing them. Going to have to try that the next time. I usually make this dish with the red sauce, since I am not a big fan of the red sauce I made it with the green. My kids pf course made a face when I told them of the change but I said "trust me and try it". Well it was a big hit everyone loved it. Very pleased with the end result of course I wanted a little more sauce but still a great dish.

 First I started with chicken breast seasoned with salt, pepper and taco seasoning and 1/2 water. Cover pan and simmerd until cooked

Then I pulled the chicken apart with a fork to shred the meat.

Then I returned to the pan add a little more seasoning to taste with about 1/4 cup of water. returned to heat then simmered to heat and add flavor.

Then I placed one can of salsa verde to bottom of pan before I started my enchilada. This helps them not stick to the bottom. Here is where I wish I had a little more sauce. I only had two can so I had to make it work. I also would love to see how to make my own salsa verde enchilada sauce. Umm have to look that up!!UPDATE: Looks like it is just salsa verde that is pureed...

Then after rolling all of the enchiladas (10 fits in the 8x13 pan) I covered it with another can of sauce. Baked it until warmed through. I usually look for bubbling action.

Once the bubbling action happens I take it out to put cheese on top return to the oven to melt the cheese. Here is another substitute I made I usually use a Mexican cheese blend which has Sharp Cheddar, Colby, and Monterey Jack. Didn't have it so i used what was on hand which was extra sharp cheddar cheese. 

Once cheese has melted its time to serve.. yummy....

I wish everything I made was this simple and produced great results every time.
