CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the 3 tablespoons flour & cook for 3 minutes over medium-low heat to create a roux. Add all other dry ingredients & cook for 1 minute, stirring to blend well. Add chicken broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well the entire time. Continue to stir while cooking over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens. Turn heat to low, cover & simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce seems too thick after 15 minutes, you can add some water to adjust the thickness - it should have the consistency of a thick gravy. Set sauce aside.
• *TO MAKE THE SAUCE GLUTEN FREE*:.
• Omit the flour, and cook the spices in the olive oil over low heat for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a small container, combine 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 1/4 cup of cold water - mix until all the lumps are gone and the corn starch and water are well combined. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the chicken stock/ spice mixture, mix well, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Set sauce aside.
• Saute onions in 2 tablespoons olive oil until translucent. Add garlic & cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add rotel tomatoes & chiles and chicken. Stir well & simmer for 5 minutes. Take off heat & set aside.
• Wet a clean kitchen towel with water and wring it out - you want it to be pretty damp but not dripping wet. Wrap 10 tortillas (at a time) in the towel and microwave them on high for about a minute. Be careful opening the towel to get the tortillas out, they will be hot.
• Place a tortilla on a flat surface and place a tablespoon of cheese on the tortilla. Spoon in about 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken mixture and roll up tortilla. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat w/ remaining tortillas. Once all the enchiladas are packed into the baking dish, pour the sauce over them, making sure the tops of the enchiladas are well coated. Cover the top of the casserole with any remaining cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until all is bubbly and the cheese on top is browned. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Roast the tomatoes and chiles on a baking sheet 4 inches below the broiler until they're darkly roasted with blackened and blistered spots, 5-6 minutes per side. (If using canned tomatoes, drain the tomatoes and set aside. Toast the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium heat, turning regularly, until they're soft and splotchy-black, about 5 minutes.)
• Dice the onion, reserving a few rings for garnish. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat; cook the diced onions, stirring regularly, until golden, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the tomatoes and chiles from the oven and cool.
• Working over your baking sheet, pull off and discard the blackened tomato skins and, for round tomatoes, cut out the hard "cores" where the stems were attached. Transfer tomatoes and chiles to a food processor or blender, along with all the juices on the baking sheet. Blend to a smooth purée.
• Add the puréed tomatoes and chiles to the onions and cook, stirring, until they darken in color and thicken to the consistency of tomato paste, 7-8 minutes. Stir in the broth, partially cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Whisk in the sour cream and season with 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Lay the tortillas out on a baking sheet (2 sheets if you have them, for more even heating), and lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with lard or oil. Bake at 350 degrees F just long enough to warm through and soften, about 3 minutes. Stack the tortillas and cover with a towel to keep them warm and pliable.
• Spread about ¼ cup of the sauce over the bottom of four to six 9-inch individual oven-proof serving dishes, or smear about 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Working quickly while the tortillas are still pliable, roll a portion of the chicken into each tortilla, then line them up in the dishes, seam-side down. Cover with the remaining sauce, then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese has browned slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Garnish the enchiladas with reserved onion rings and cilantro sprigs before serving.
