Enchilada shootout

[Somewhat Damaged]

I make green chili sour cream chicken enchiladas. I make the sauce similar to the sauce you make for green chili pork with a little less spice. Then I pour half the sauce in my shredded chicken mixed with sautee'd onions and green chilis, put them in tortillas with cheese and sour cream, roll them up and pour the remainder of the sauce over the top and some more cheese. Mixed with some mexican rice. YUM. OK now I am hungry too.

So I'm thinking for the next Coachella Board Phoenix Meet-Up, it should consist of a pot luck that includes you bringing some of these and captncrzy making her portabello mushroom pizzas. I'll supply the booze. Ivy can provide the Randy. It'll be good times.

[algunz]

Loca, I'm assuming you use cheddar cheese, cause you're right - that shit sounds good.

[Hopeless Semantic]

Damn, I would kill for any kind of enchilada at this point in the conversation... (except the shrimp kind)

[captncrzy]

Me and the kid went for mexican food tonight; she wanted the cheese enchilada platter. I told her that when I got to the takeout window, I was going to say that she wanted the "cheese enchilalalas". She said I couldn't because it was racist.

Goddamn kids.

[menikmati]

I'm starving. I didn't have any dinner last night, and now I read all this stuff about enchiladas. I would pay good money to have a couple in front of me right now.

Actually I use Spicey Monterey Jack mixed with regular Monterey Jack.

waaa i want to come, i can cook up a pretty good add to the meal ... oh well ... almost no one on the board lives in denver (well cept some of the best , youngblood and teamcoachellahellya, ) x****

[locachica73]

I will also throw down some ceviche. The cool thing about mexican food is it is easy to cook in mass quantities.

Gimme a break, I was drunk. And it's not like I'm not taking any responsibility on myself -- I've gotta provide the booze! Knowing the alcoholics who're likely to be present, that's no small task.

SOoo true, I guess that's due to the constant procreation.

[locachica73]

LOL yep and if you don't have enough throw in some frijoles and tortillas. Yummm

[bluemamba]

im eating enchiladas right now.

[algunz]

Did you make them?

[SFChrissy]

Loca, I'm assuming you use cheddar cheese, cause you're right - that shit sounds good.

too greasy when it melts...

Actually I use Spicey Monterey Jack mixed with regular Monterey Jack.

Nice call on the pepper jack...I'll have to try that one...

[locachica73]

yeah, only time I like chedder cheese is on my open face cheese and tomato sammiches. I don't like the way it melts either. Monterey melts very nicely.

[algunz]

I'm still looking for ideas. Actual detailed recipes would be appreciated.

[fatbastard]

Cheddar cheese does get greasy but it's a good greasy. Can't think of a think right now algunz. I will say red chili over green chili: ALWAYS.

[locachica73]

OK I am at work now so I am going to do this from memory:

Chicken:
Boil chicken (I use boneless chicken breasts) with onion, garlic, salt and whatever spices you typically use then shred.
Combined cooked chicken in large fry pan and sautee with chopped onion about 1/2 an onion per 3 chicken breasts, 1 can green chilis per 3 breasts, 1 cup chicken stock per 3 breasts.

Sauce:
I have cheated and used the Las Palmas Green Chili Enchilada Sauce but if you want to make your own here is the recipe:
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups green chile, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup tomato, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water

Heat a saucepan over medium heat; add oil and sauté the garlic for 1 or 2 minutes or until it is just soft but not browned.
Add remaining ingredients, bring them to a boil, and simmer them for 10 to 15 minutes or until the liquid is almost gone and the remaining sauce is fairly thick.

Makes about 2 cups.

Once done fry corn tortillas for 10 seconds on each side just till they are soft and rollable, let cool, dip in plate of prepared green chili sauce, place a spoon of chicken mixture and some monterey pepper jack cheese in each tortilla and roll, place in pyrex baking dish.

Once you fill your pyrex baking dish cover with remaining sauce and then cover with mixture of monterey jack and pepper jack cheese (or whatever other cheese you prefer). Bake on 350 until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve with sour cream and mexican rice.

this thread title makes me think of diarrhea.

[algunz]

Ugh TomAz, that's nasty.


For any of you locals who would be interested in joining us, PM me and I'll send the information. It'll be the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Mike, I expect you there with camera cleaner.

[PassiveTheory]

So wait, this is going to be in CA?

[bug on your lip]

algunz,

you should put some edible beetles in your enchilada. And say it's something else with a crunchy texture. Like say it's crunchy chinese noodles.

and only after all people have tasted it, then tell them what it is.


also, film it.


xoxoxooxxo

Looking forward to it. The only thing that will stop me is a potential Thanksgiving NY trip (but that is very flimsy right now).

[algunz]

Thanksgiving in NY is the best.

[PassiveTheory]

So... No I guess?

[ivankay]

So... No I guess?

yes. gunz lives in OC.
