Ingredients

    1 red onion
    2 canned whole tomatoes
    4 garlic cloves
    1 lb of chicken
    1 bag of frozen corn (or fresh)
    Cheddar and Mozzarella Cheese for topping
    1 packet of Enchilada Sauce Mix or Canned
    Corn Tortillas
    Cumin Powder
    Garlic Powder
    Salt and Pepper
    Canned or fresh whole green chilles
    Mexican Spice Blend

Directions

Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables.

Wet and Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.

And serve hot!!!

    This sounds good, but why did you calculate the nutrition for just one? Why not enter the ingredients as listed and then let us know how many servings it makes? - 9/10/10

    Very Good
    I make this same enchiladas and it is a family favorite! And since we have to eat gluten free, using corn tortillas is perfect for us. Yummy! - 5/20/10
