I'm always looking for something to make that's quick and of course homemade. I probably have more cookbooks on making meals in less than 30 minutes than any other topic. It's not my favorite way to cook, but does come in handy during the week or deciding at the last minute what to serve.
From Food for the Journey (Saint Peter Lutheran Church in Southport, NC):
Quick Chicken Enchiladas
1 small onion, chopped
1 T butter
1 1/2 C shredded chicken, cooked
1 C Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
5-6 flour tortillas, 7-8 inch
1/2 C Picante sauce
1/2 t ground cumin
Cook onion in butter until tender and stir in chicken, 1/4 cup of Picante sauce and cumin; heat through. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup of cheese and all of the sour cream. Spoon equal amounts of the mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll up. Place seam side down in a baking dish. Top with remaining Picante sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 for 15 minute until cheese melts. Top with favorite toppings.
Family Rating: too much onion, but good texture and flavor otherwise; maybe add some rice to it
Stomach Rating: watch how much Picante sauce you use, can over do it
Time Factor: on the table in 20 minutes...great for a weekday
There was no amount of sour cream in the ingredient section so I added 2 T to start and it worked out well. I also added a few other spices to bring out some flavor: 1 t salt, 1/4 t pepper, and 1 t grill seasoning. If you put the spices in while the onions are cooking it smells great.
Definitely keep this one filed away!
