I'm looking for a chicken enchilada recipe.?!
Answers: I have leftover roast chicken that I am going to use. I'm looking for a recipe that doesn't have cream cheese, any kind of condensed soup, and preferably no tomatoes, but it can have tomato sauce. I'd like to bake it in a casserole dish. Does anyone know of some good recipes?
I do!
In a casserole dish, spray evenly with pam and cover the bottom with tortillas. Next place shredded chicken (cooked) on the tortillas, some tomato sauce (I prefer salsa though) on top of the chicken, some cheese on top of that, and whatever spices you want to top it all off. Place in the oven, middle rack, at 350 degrees for about 4 minutes...or until the cheese melts. Serve with sour cream. Yum :)

SIX SERVINGS
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 25 min
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons flour
One 29-ounce can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
One 2-pound rotisserie chicken, meat shredded
1 pound muenster cheese, grated
3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, seeded and finely chopped
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas
1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add two-thirds of the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups water and the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin and salt; bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes; set aside.
2. Preheat the broiler. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, two-thirds of the cheese and the chiles.
3. Spread 1 cup of the enchilada sauce in a large casserole dish. Dip 1 tortilla in the remaining sauce to coat both sides and transfer to a plate. Fill with chicken mixture, roll up and transfer to the casserole dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Top with the remaining onion, sauce and cheese; broil until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the broiler and leave the enchiladas in the oven until heated through, about 5 minutes.
