ENCHILADAS




I have been on a Mexican food kick lately. It started with me buying a bag of limes.
I was putting lime on everything. As an ode to lime and Mexican cuisine, I made a spread from avocados, lime, sour cream and dill. It was rocking.


The enchiladas were chicken and came out awesome.

Here's a short list.
Avocado
Sour Cream
Dry Dill
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Cumin
Lime (yay)
Chicken Breasts
Onion
Peppers
Shredded Cheese
A large can of Tomato Puree (#10)
Hot Sauce


Here is how I did them.
I simmered chicken breasts in tomato puree with hot sauce, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. When the chicken is done remove the it and save the sauce. Shred the chicken and put into a bowl. Add a can of beans, I use either kidney or white, to the bowl. Add some shredded cheese and chopped onion to bowl. Now add some of the sauce from the chicken and mix together.
On a tortilla I put the avocado spread down, then I spoon the mixture on as well. Roll and place in a casserole dish. Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle some cheese on top. Serve with lime wedges, avocado spread, and sour cream.
