- ENCHILADAS CHIPOTLE
-
- Filling:
- 3 half-breasts chicken, cooked and cubed
- 9 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 3/4 c minced onion
-
- Sauce:
- 2T butter
- 2T flour
- 1 c beef broth
- 1 c water
- 1 t cumin
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 t oregano
- 3-4 canned chipotle chiles, seeded and minced *see note
- 2 T adobo sauce from can
- 2 T sour cream
-
- Melt the butter in a skillet. Stir in four. Cook this roux until it is
- light brown. Remove pan from heat and slowly stir in broth. Place pan
- over medium heat and whisk in water. Add the spices, garlic, chiles, and
- adobo sauce. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Whisk in sour cream.
-
- Preparation:
- Heat some oil in a skillet. Lightly fry a corn tortilla to soften it.
- Place it on a plate and fill with 1T cheese, 1T onion, and 1T chicken.
- Roll and place in a 9" x 13" dish. Repeat 12 times. Cover the enchiladas
- with the chipotle sauce. Top with any remaining onions and cheese. Bake
- at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, just until the sauce bubbles.
-
- *note: Canned Chipotle Chiles are fully ripened jalapenos that are canned
- in an adobo (vinegar-and-stuff) sauce. They are very hot and very tasty.
- Because they are so hot, I usually only use 2 chiles and 1.5 T sauce. You
- can find the chiles in Safeway in California and in Mexican food marts.
