Salsa Chicken Enchiladas

These enchiladas are great! And oh so easy to make. For the chicken you can cook up a boneless, skinless, chicken breast or two, or de-bone some rotisserie chicken, or even buy some of those pre-grilled chicken pieces from the deli. Pretty much anything works as long as it's cooked and shredded.

2 cups shredded chicken
1/2 cup sliced green onions
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
3 cups diced Roma tomatoes, divided*
1 cup frozen corn
3 cups shredded medium cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
1 can (at least 10 oz) enchilada sauce (mild or hot)
1/2 cup cilantro chopped
12+ corn tortillas

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Spray a 9 x 13 glass or ceramic (don't use metal) baking dish with cooking spray.

In a skillet over medium high heat, combine chicken, salsa, green onions, and garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the tomatoes, the corn and 1 cup of cheese. Stir to combine, then cook over low heat while you prepare the tortillas. Prepare the tortillas according to these directions. After tortillas are cooked, remove chicken filling to a flattened dish to cool.

Spread a large spoonful of enchilada sauce into the 9 x 13 pan. Spoon a large spoonful of enchilada filling down the center of a tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam side down in the center of the 9 x 13 pan at one end. Repeat with remaining tortillas until either the filling is used up or you run out of pan. Spoon enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas coating them well.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, remove foil and sprinkle remaining 2 cups of cheese over top. Bake for 5 more minutes then remove from oven. Sprinkle chopped cilantro down the center of the pan of enchiladas and then sprinkle remaining tomatoes down center of pan on top of the cilantro. Serve with sour cream and re-fried beans on the side.

Servings: at least 6 which is about 2 enchiladas per person

* You don't have to use Roma tomatoes. You can use whatever you like. I prefer Roma's because they are less juicy than beefsteak or slicing tomatoes.
