Super Easy Enchilada Type Thing

The name of this dish says it all. It's super easy, and it's an enchilada type thing. This is another Sam recipe, I saw it in his show and didn't write the recipe down, so I may have forgotten or added something, but I doubt it. It's a pretty easy recipe to make and remember. It's also surprisingly full of flavor for how simple it is to make. It's made with things that are almost always kept in my pantry at home, and if a specific ingredient is not readily available, it would be fairly easy to substitute it for something else. Like tomatoes, bell peppers, and a jalapeno.

It's a great, fast recipe. You can cook it on the fly or prep it and refrigerate for tomorrow.

Enough talking, here's the dish:


Needed to make this dish:
tortillas
enchilada sauce
cheese
sour cream
cilantro
canned diced green chiles
salsa
onions (if you like)
store bought rotisserie chicken.

step 1: throw the onions (if you like) in a pan with a little bit of olive oil until soft. during this process, take the skin off your chicken, and shred the good stuff with your hands.
step 2: place shredded chicken, green chiles, and about a cup of salsa in the pan with your soft onions.
step 3: mix all together and let it sit in the pan for a while to heat and allow flavors to mingle.
step 3 1/2:heat tortillas in microwave for about 30 seconds, this makes it easier them work with.
step 4: slop some of your chicken mixture on to the center, fold in the corners and place on an oiled baking sheet.
step 5: bake at about 325*F until crispy: 15-20 minutes. (while your enchilada type things are baking, you can heat up the enchilada sauce in the microwave or on stove top, your call).

Now you can throw the toppings together however you like, drizzle the enchilada sauce over top, set it underneath your enchilada type thing, use sour cream, don't use sour cream (i recommend you use the sour cream, it's delicious with it), cheese, no cheese... you get the point. Go enjoy your meal.
