Kid Friendly Enchilada Recipes

Lesley Dietschy asked:


I had no idea when I became a mother that one of my greatest challenges would be cooking for my children. I have always heard how picky kids are about what they eat but I didn’t realize what “picky” really meant until my son reached 4-years-old and simply refused to eat anything that wasn’t chicken fingers or fruit snacks!

I frequently search for recipes and make them my own by changing the ingredients to include what I know my kids will eat. Both of my kids love Mexican food and therefore I make the following two recipes quite often.

Easy Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:

2 cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted

1 package of sour cream mix

1 can of cubed cooked chicken

4 oz. can of diced green chilies

8 corn tortillas

1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, mix all ingredients together and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Stir constantly.

2. Spoon some of the mixture into each tortilla and roll the tortillas.

3. In a 13-in.x 9-in.x 2-in. casserole dish, place the tortillas in a row.

4. Pour the remaining mixture over the tortillas.

5. Top with shredded cheese.

6. Bake uncovered at 350F for 20-25 minutes and the cheese on top is melted.

Serves 4.

Enchilada Pie

Ingredients:

1 lb. hamburger

8-10 corn tortillas

10 oz. can enchilada sauce

8 oz. can tomato sauce

4 oz. can chopped green chilies

8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

¼ cup water

Directions:

1. Cover bottom of 12×12 (or similar size) baking dish with torn tortillas.

2. Brown hamburger and drain.

3. Mix hamburger with enchilada sauce, tomato sauce, chilies, and water.

4. Pour half of the meat mixture in dish on top of the torn tortillas and top with cheese.

5. Repeat layer by adding torn tortillas, meat mixture and top with cheese.

6. Bake uncovered at 350F for 20-30 minutes.

Serves 4.

Both of these enchilada recipes taste great with a green salad and my recipe for crunchies, which my family loves.

To make crunchies you will need:

6-10 corn tortillas

Frank’s Hot Sauce

shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Tear the tortillas into bite sized pieces or desired size and place on a cookie sheet.

2. Top each piece of tortilla with shredded cheese and drizzle with hot sauce.

3. Broil tortillas at 400F until cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.

Please note: Carefully watch the crispies while they are baking because they cook very fast and will burn. Due to the variations in ovens, you may need to adjust the broil temperature on your oven to cook the crispies correctly. I would suggest baking a sample batch to help you learn the best temperature to use and required baking time.

Enjoy!

Easy Cheesy – Cheese Enchiladas Recipe For Cinco De Mayo

Saturday, March 27th, 2010
Robert Owens asked:


Mexican fare is a favorite cuisine of young and old alike. Of course, the basic taco or burrito is a common comfort food when you want something spicy but easy to put together. But, if you are looking for something a bit more creative and delicious to celebrate Cinco de mayo, Mexican Independence Day, you should consider whipping up quick and easy cheese enchiladas as your recipe for the special occasion.

Mexican food in general is meant to be made easily and quickly. The origins of these dishes date back a hundred years and were created by the locals with fundamental ingredients found along the regions. Rice, beans and chicken are the baseline components that make up many of the meals you find in many remote villages.

Easy Cheese enchiladas are one such dish that can be relatively quick to make for any occasion, especially Cinco de Mayo. The basic instructions are as follows:
Start with a large backing pan; 9X13 will do Lay in corn tortillas flat side by side Add sliced or shredded Monterey Jack cheese to each tortilla Add diced onions, jalepenos to taste to each tortilla and roll Line up the rolled enchiladas side by side until the bottom of the pan is covered Cover with additional cheese, onion and garnish with Jalapenos Bake on 300 for 15 minutes or so Serve with Refried beans and Mexican Rice
 
If you want to add or switch up ingredients to add your own variation, here are some other items you can mix and match for a signature dish you can call your own:
Sour Cream Grilled Chicken Ground Beef Shredded Beef Brisket Pulled Pork Fresh Spinach Lettuce and Tomato

If you want to get a more authentic flavor, you can try these Mexican based melting cheeses instead of Monterey Jack. Each have their own distinct flavor due to their regional origins and with some coming from goats milk.
Anejo Enchilado Queso Quesadilla Asadero Manchego Oaxaca Chihuahua

As you can tell, this is a very simple recipe for cheese enchiladas that anyone can make within minutes. Whatever your choice in cheese or additional ingredients, this dish will create a fantastic food experience for you and/or your guests on Cinco De Mayo. Garnish with a nice salad, Rice and beans to round out the meal and don’t forget the Margarita to wash them down.
