Deconstructed Chicken Enchiladas and Dishes Addiction

 

We have hit that quarterly milestone where I am trying to purge, purge, purge pantry, refrigerator, and freezer.

What a better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a kitchen combo creation to use up those last few tortillas, half bag of shredded cheese, 1/4 container sour cream...I think you get the picture now.

As an added bonus, I get to use my fun "new" plates that I discovered at our local Habitat for Humanity Store.  This store is the greatest (and the worst) thing that has happened to me since moving to B-Town five years ago.  I really do need addiction help from buying dishes.  Come on though...how great area these plates!

Deconstructed Chicken Enchiladas

1 Tbl olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 Tbl mined garlic

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp salt

1 large tomato, diced

(2) 10-ounce cans red enchilada sauce

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chicken broth

8 +/- corn tortillas, cut into small triangles

4 cups shredded, cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 ounces Pepper Jack shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium size skillet, add the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and tomato.  Stir until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl.

To the onion mixture, add the enchilada sauce, sour cream, and 1/4 cup chicken broth, shredded chicken, and tortilla triangles.

Stir carefully, making sure everything gets combined and coated.

Spray a 13x9 baking dish with non-stick spray.  Spoon the entire mixture into dish and spread evenly.

Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes.  Remove the foil and spread the shredded Pepper Jack cheese all over the "enchiladas".  Bake uncovered 10 more minutes.

Serve with your favorite rice and beans.  

I drizzled some avocado crema over my portion...took it to a whole new level!

Enjoy!
