EASY RED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
Starting with a homemade red sauce, these Tex-Mex enchiladas are faster and easier to make than their Mexican forefathers, but still so delicious. This recipe makes 2 1/2 cups sauce, enough for 4 to 6 individual skillet enchiladas or 1 regular baking dish. Garnish with sour cream and guacamole.

Steps:
- Melt butter with olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt; cook and stir until onion starts to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour, chile powder, cumin, chipotle powder, black pepper, oregano, cayenne, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and mix until fully combined. Pour in chicken broth and whisk until smooth.
- Increase heat to high and bring sauce to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors come together, about 10 minutes. Taste and season as desired. Blend sauce with an immersion blender.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Lightly brush tortillas with oil. Heat a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Heat tortillas until flexible, about 30 seconds per side.
- Cover the bottom of the skillet with a scoop of enchilada sauce. Place a tortilla on top and add 1/2 of the chicken, 1/3 of the Jack cheese, and 1/2 the cilantro and green onions. Spoon on more sauce and repeat layers, finishing with sauce and the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and sauce is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.

SHREDDED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH RED SAUCE
Plan ahead to cook chicken slowly in crock pot. It's well worth the wait! Alternatively, you can boil the chicken in chicken stock for about 20 minutes if you are in a hurry.

Steps:
- Cook and shred the chicken. I cooked mine in the slow cooker with the taco seasoning package in 28 ounces of chicken stock. The chicken just peeled apart. I cooked it on low for about 3-4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425 deg F.
- Transfer the shredded chicken to a large bowl. Add half the enchilada sauce, 1/2 cup of the taco shredded cheese and the 1/2 cup of cilantro to the shredded chicken. Stir to combine.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread a very thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom.
- Line up the enchiladas in the 9x13 pan, seam side down.
- Put 2 T. of enchilada sauce in each tortilla and spread to the edges. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture along the center of the tortilla. Gently, but firmly, roll the tortilla around the filling and place into the baking dish, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Lightly spray the exposed tortillas with cooking spray (or brush lightly with olive oil). This will help the tortillas turn golden in the oven and will also help keep them from cracking. Place baking dish in the oven, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until the tortillas begin to turn golden.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle remaining cheese over the sauce. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoons fresh cilantro. Lightly cover baking dish with aluminum foil and place into the oven for 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil after 20 minutes and bake, uncovered, for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is golden.
- Remove from the oven and let stand 5-10 minutes prior to serving. Feel free to add a dollop (or two!) of sour cream, sliced black olives, green onion, and/or some more chopped cilantro for a garnish if you'd like.

THE BEST RED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
We love the smoky combination of cascabel and guajillo chiles. Using two varieties of dried peppers creates a complex sauce with wonderful depth of flavor, so we recommend seeking them both out. Look for the best-quality corn tortillas you can find. They will have a better flavor and texture and will be easier to work with.

Steps:
- Bring 3 cups water, the chicken, guajillo, cascabel, cilantro stems, garlic, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, peppercorns and coriander seeds to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook on low until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the liquid to a plate (reserve the cooking liquid) and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones; discard the skin and bones. Shred the meat into small pieces and put into a medium bowl.
- Let the hot cooking liquid cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl and repeat with any remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the chile sauce over the shredded chicken. Stir to combine and season with salt if necessary.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry the tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Drain on paper towels.
- Dip both sides of each tortilla in the chile sauce just to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup of the chile sauce in a 6-inch strip down the center of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of the shredded chicken across the center of a tortilla. Fold one side over the filling, then roll up the tortilla. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (the enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in the pan). Top with any remaining sauce in your bowl or leftover on the baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the sauce bubbles, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the cheese and bake until the cheese melts but doesn't brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
- Top the enchiladas with crema, cilantro leaves and onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

- Step 1Prepare the poaching liquid Combine water, salt, cilantro, garlic, onion, bay leaf and peppercorns in a skillet with a lid, bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, or until the water is very well seasoned. Add the chicken and simmer over low heat, just barely a bubble, for 5 minutes, turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken, set aside to cool. Discard the poaching liquid. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using your fingers or two forks. Set-aside.
- Step 2While the chicken cools, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes, add the seasonings, and stir in well, then add the tomato, green chili, and chicken stock, mix well. Add the shredded chicken, mix well, then allow to simmer 5 minutes or so. Turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Step 3As the chicken and sauce cool slightly, heat the oven to 350°F. Spray the tortillas on both sides with cooking spray, or lightly coat with oil, place, in a single a layer as possible, some overlap is ok, on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for about 3 minutes, or until soft and pliable. Remove from oven and stack to maintain softness and heat. Increase oven to 375°F.
- Step 4Combine the cheddar and jack cheese together. Mix the two enchilada sauces together. Put about 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a baking dish just large enough to hold the enchiladas, about 12" X 9". Fill each tortilla with about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling, placing the filling in the center, add a small amount of chopped black olive, if using along with a pinch of the cheese mixture. Take one end of the tortilla and fold it over the meat/cheese mixture, pull back slightly to encase the filling, then roll the tortilla and place, seam side down into the prepared pan. Continue until all the tortillas have been filled, placing each new enchilada closely next to the others. When done, spoon the rest of the enchilada sauce over, making sure to cover all the tortilla, then sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture over, along with the cotia cheese, if using. Spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray, then cover the casserole. Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, rem
