they are called "burrito" enchiladas cause they are stuffed with everything you would put in a burrito, but they are rolled, smothered & baked like enchiladas:) & they are perfectly delish!!!! i am eating leftovers of them as i type:) give them a try asap, you'll be so glad you did!
{Calli's "burrito" chicken enchiladas}
{Santa Fe lime rice}
1 cup rice, either long grain or basmati
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
juice of 1/2 lime
2 TBSP butter
1/4 tsp cumin
1/3 cup cilantro
melt butter in a pot & add all seasonings & cilantro. add rice & cook over medium heat for 2 minutes stirring constantly. add stock & lime juice return to simmer, turn to heat to low. cover & cook about 30 minutes.
set aside.
{chicken}
1 pound chicken, cooked & shredded
you can cook the chicken any way you want. My favorite way is to boil it on the stove, it takes about 25 minutes. I have also cooked it in the crockpot for about 3 hours on high, or just cut up one of the already made chickens from Costco.
{sauce}
1 cup salsa verde
1 package buttermilk ranch
1/3 cup cilantro
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayo
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 Tbls fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 cup sugar
Put in a blender and blend away
( I usually do one and a half of this for the six burritos. I love the sauce so I like more of it then the recipe calls for.)
{Burritos}
6 burrito size tortillas
shredded cheese
1- 15 oz can black beans, drained
rice, recipe above
I put the chicken, rice, beans and cheese in the tortillas. wrap them up cover them with sauce and then put them in the oven on 350 for 40 min covered with tin foil, then I take the tin foil off sprinkle more cheese on top and then cook them for another 10 minutes:)
** i like them topped with pico, avocado & sour cream:)
mmmm... sounds so good. Lucky for me I have all the ingredients. I'm making it tonight!
ReplyDeleteThese sound delicious! I'll have to give them a try next week. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've just printed it out, I think I'll give it a try. Sounds yum!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering too just looking at and it is 745 in the morning.
ReplyDeletei made these tonight. super yummy, but i wish the instructions for the rice were a little more specific. i cooked the rice on medium heat and it burned after 20 mins. luckily most of it was salvageable.
ReplyDeleteThese were delicious! My family loved them and I'll definitely be making these again. Thanks for such a yummy recipe.
ReplyDeleteI was so prepared to love these....but the sauce was WAY to mayonnaise tasting. Bummer!
