Method

Enchilada

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half of the red enchilada sauce and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchilada

    Take a corn tortilla, place 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the second tortilla.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once baked, top with sour cream and chopped cilantro before serving.

    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

    Add taco seasoning to the beef and stir in 1/4 cup of water. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Mexican Rice

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
