MOM'S HALIBUT ENCHILADAS

• Remove pan from oven and cool halibut slightly. Flake into bite sized pieces in the baking dish.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese in a large bowl.
• Carefully stir in flaked halibut, diced green chiles, green onions, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
• Spoon filling onto tortillas in a line down the center, and roll them around the filling into a cylinder shape.
• Grease a 9x15 inch baking dish.
• Place rolled tortillas seam sides down in the prepared baking dish.

MY FAVORITE CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• In a large non-stick skillet saute the 1/2 cup diced onions and 3 chopped garlic cloves in the oil over medium heat. About 5 minutes until the onions are slightly translucent.
• Add the 3 cups cooked chicken, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, pinch red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce. Stir to coat the chicken with all the seasonings and sauce.
• Prepare a 9x13 glass baking dish by pouring the remaining 2/3 of the opened can of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the pan.
• Now set up an assembly line for your enchiladas. Tortillas, chicken filling, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and the prepared pan.
• Place a few spoonfuls of chicken down the center of one tortilla and top with a few pinches of cheese. Roll the tortilla over the filling and lay it, seam side down, in the prepared pan. Continue this process until all the tortillas and filling are used. You will have 10-12 enchiladas.
• Top the rolled enchiladas with the remaining can of sauce, remaining cup of cheese and all the green onions.
• Cover the pan with foil and place in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
• Let the Chicken Enchiladas cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

EASY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Add chili powder, salt, garlic powder, water and flour in a bowl or salad dressing shaker. Mix until smooth - no lumps!
• Put pan back on high heat. Add mixture, stirring constantly. Don't let it get stiff - add water if necessary. If "slimy" looking, add more flour. Remove from heat.
• Drag tortillas through sauce and place in baking pan. Add cheese, onions and meat if desired; roll. Pour remaining sauce over rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
