( 8 ) Cheese Enchiladas:   2             cups  shredded Monterey Jack cheese ( 8 ounces )   1             cup shredded Cheddar cheese ( 4 ounces )       1/2      cup sour cream   2             tablespoons chopped fresh parsley       1/4      teaspoon pepper   1             medium onion, chopped ( 1/2 cup )   8             corn tortillas ( 5 or 6 inches in diameter ) warmed  16            ounces salsa ( 2 cups )                  Sour cream, if desired                  Chopped green onions, if desired Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove the chicken from the pot and cool to room temperature. Shred or cut chicken breast in small chunks, and transfer to a large bowl. Add the onions, cilantro, oregano, and pepper, and stir. Set aside. To make sauce, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, and cumin in a skillet. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of water, and bring mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Coat a baking pan ( 9-x-13-inch ) with nonstick cooking spray ( nonfat ). Dip a tortilla in the sauce long enough to soften the tortilla and coat each side with sauce. Lay the tortilla on a flat surface, and place 1/4 cup of the chicken along one end. Roll the tortilla, and lay it in the pan, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, leaving a 1/4 inch space between each enchiladas. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas, and spread the cheese over top.

In a seperate bowl or saucepan, heat the enchilada sauce. Don't bring it to a boil, just get it nice and warm. Dip a tortilla in the warm sauce until the tortilla is flexible. You want to be able to roll the tortilla without cracking it. Lay the sauce covered tortilla on a plate, place 1/3 cup of the chicken filling in the middle, and roll it up. Lay it seam side down in a casserole dish. Repeat until the tortillas and filling are used up. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Loosely cover the casserole with foil, leaving a steam vent, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins. Remove from oven. Just before serving, sprinkle the cheddar cheese and green onion on top. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side.

( 11 ) Chicken Enchiladas 3:    1 1/2    Cups chicken cooked and shredded    2          Tablespoons diced green chiles       1/2    Pound Ricotta cheese    1          Whole egg  slightly beaten    1          Cup Green Onions, Chopped Stems And Tops    1          Cup Jack cheese  shredded    8          Whole flour tortillas    1          Can enchilada sauce  ( 16 ounce )       1/2    Cup Cheddar cheese shredded In a medium size bowl combine chicken, Ricotta and Jack cheeses, chiles, egg and onion.

( 12 ) Chili Chicken Enchiladas:    2         cups cooked chicken diced    6         ounces shredded monterey jack cheese ( 1 1/2 cups )       1/2   cup sliced roasted red bell pepper    1         can old el paso chopped green chiles  ( 4.5oz )    8         8 inch flour tortilla    6         ounces shredded cheddar cheese ( 1 1/2 cups )    1         cup sour cream From 7.25 oz jar Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 13x9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In medium bowl. combine chicken, Monterey jack cheese, roasted peppers, chiles and sour cream; mix well.

( 13 ) Enchiladas South Texas Style:    1         tablespoon shortening    1         pound ground beef  round    3         tablespoons flour    1         8 oz. can tomato sauce               water    2         tablespoons chili powder                salt to taste        3/4  teaspoon garlic powder   12        tortillas corn    1         pound cheese longhorn                coarsely grated    1         large onion chopped fine Melt shortening in heavy skillet. Add the ground meat and brown. Sprinkle meat with flour; mix in skillet. Add tomato sauce and 1 cup water. Mix 1/2 cup water with the chili powder to form a smooth paste; add to the meat mixture. Add salt to taste and garlic powder. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, until it is of gravy consistency. Cover and simmer over very low heat. Add more water if the chili gravy becomes too thick. Dip tortillas one at a time in the hot chili gravy with a wide metal spatula. The tortillas will become pliable almost immediately, which will make rolling the enchiladas easier. Soaking too long will cause the tortillas to fall apart. Place a good sprinkling of grated cheese and minced onion and about a tablespoon of the meat mixture to one side of the center of the tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around the filling and place loose side down in a glass casserole baking dish. For best results place the enchilidas in a row with sides touching. When all enchiladas have been formed, pour the remaining hot chili gravy over all, and sprinkle generously with grated cheese, and top with chopped onion. Bake at 350 deg. F until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

( 21 ) Mama's Simple Texas Enchiladas:                    Tortillas                    Enchiladas sauce                    Chili ( homemade or canned ) or refried                    beans                    Chopped onions Dip tortillas in oil, saute' a few minutes. Fill with grated cheese, onions, and sauce. Fit close together in oblong dish. Cover with chili or beans. Add more cheese. Bake 350 degrees for l5 minutes.

( 22 ) Tex-Mex Style Enchiladas: OH SO GOOD!    2              pounds  ground beef  extra-lean                         (as  little fat as possible)    2              medium onions  chopped    4              tablespoons  flour    2  1/2       cups enchilada sauce (2 standard cans)    1              pound cheddar cheese  sharp, grated PREPARE SAUCE AND FILLING: Brown ground beef and 1 chopped onion in a large skillet. There should be enough fat in the beef to eliminate any need for extra oil and also to saute the onions at the same time. While you are browning the beef (it should be completely cooked with no pink or red color left), be sure to break it up so that it is granular in texture, as opposed to chunky, when completely browned. Onions should be limp and translucent but not brown. Add about 4 T of flour and saute until flour is completely incorporated into the meat mixture. Add the enchilada sauce. Heat over low heat. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water. The consistency should be that of a thick gravy, but not soupy. Simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes. PREPARE ROLLED ENCHILADAS: Rolled enchiladas are tougher to assemble, but more authentic. Have ready a large baking pan, we always use an oblong Pyrex pan. One at a time, dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce just enough to coat and slightly soften. Lay the tortilla flat in the baking pan, spoon about 3 T of the enchilada sauce in a line down the middle, top with about 1 t chopped onion and about 3 T of grated cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly into a cylinder with the seam on the bottom, and position against the bottom edge of the baking pan. Repeat until the pan is full. This can get tricky ( but it is possible ) as the pan gets full. Assembling the enchilada outside of the pan is usually a messy disaster. Depending on the size of the pan and how tightly each enchilada is rolled, you can get 8-12 enchiladas in a pan. This recipe should make about 16 to 24 enchiladas. Spoon enchilada sauce over the assembled enchiladas to thinly cover. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 20 minutes. PREPARE STACKED ENCHILADAS: This is the New Mexico style. It is much easier to assemble. Have plates ready. One at a time, submerge each tortilla in the enchilada sauce ( which should be cooking on low heat during this process ) and cook until limp but not falling apart, this may take a little practice to gauge the time. Remove the tortilla from the sauce and place flat on a plate. Spoon a little sauce, including meat, over the tortilla, add about 1 T chopped onion and about 4 T grated cheese. Repeat the process until you have a stack of 3-4 tortillas on a plate, depending on the appetite of the person who will eat them. Top the last tortilla with a generous amount of sauce and cheese. Serve immediately. The fundamental difference between these two styles is the method used to cook the tortillas. In the rolled style, the sauce is cooked into the tortilla through the baking process. In the stacked style, the tortilla is cooked directly in the sauce. Only the appearance differs, the taste is the same with either style. NOTES: "Central Texas style Mexican enchiladas"  We cook beef enchiladas in two ways, the traditional rolled enchilada and the easier-to-cook New Mexico stacked style. Both procedures are given. Also, we used to cook the enchilada sauce chili from scratch but more recently began using a shortcut with canned Old El Paso brand enchilada sauce, since it is not only faster ( 20 minutes vs. 4 plus hours ) but also has a very authentic spice combination.
