White Trash Enchiladas

This is an easy, yet delicious way to enjoy enchiladas ....you will love it!

Ingredients:

1 dozen corn tortillas

1 small can of jalapeños

1 roasted deboned chicken (you can buy it already roasted and save time).

1 lrg can of either green enchilada sauce or red enchilada sauce

Grated Mexican cheese or cheddar cheese

Bechamel sauce (for enchilada verde only)

Green Sauce Enchiladas

Pour some green sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish.  Add a layer of tortillas (set them in the sauce and then turn over so that the sauce covers both sides of the tortilla),  add a layer of chicken, pour about half of the Béchamel sauce (add the jalapeños to the sauce) over the chicken, then pour about half of the green sauce over the chicken, add a layer of grated Mexican or Cheddar Cheese.  Continue to layer with tortillas, sauces and cheese.  Place in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.

Red Sauce Enchiladas

Follow the recipe above...EXCEPT, replace the green sauce with red enchilada sauce and DO NOT add the Béchamel.  You can also use, beef, pork or any other meat if you like.

Both of these a great with rice and beans!  Viva Mexico!!


NOTE:  This is a very popular brunch dish.  I have made it several times for brunch and everyone begins singing "La Vida Loca" after their first bite!  Will you be singing "La Vida Loca?"
