White Girls Enchiladas
I don't know how I came up with this name. This is what happened. I was walking out of my home taking some my freshly made enchiladas to my neighbor when one of my other neighbors said to me, what have you got there? I don't know where it came from but I said why it's white girls enchiladas. Needless to say the name stuck and I had to use this as the name for this recipe. It has been a few months now since I originally made this recipe and since then I've refined it and discovered a few shortcuts. So I'm going to repost this updated recipe.
This is how I made it:
White Girls Enchiladas
Ingredients:
4 fajitas
Small can of green enchilada sauce ( I make my own sauce it's easy and you can make enough with one recipe and can use several times over at other times)
Two chicken legs ( or pre cooked chicken)
1/4 bag Mexican shredded cheese
Small can green chilies ( if you buy green chile in a larger quantity as I do then use about 3 tablespoons of the Green Chile)
1/2 can cream of chicken soup ( you can freeze the other half)
1/2 teasp. cumin.
1/2 teasp. Taco seasoning
Directions:
Cook two chicken legs. I put mine in the crock pot before I left for work so it was ready to use when I got home.(I also when I want to take further shortcuts use some of my fajita chicken that's precooked and can be found in the freezer case of your local grocery store. It takes a couple handfuls of chicken to make this meal . this does not use up the whole bag only maybe a quarter so you still have a lot of ready-made chicken left.)
Chop the chicken and then add the Green Chile the cream of chicken soup and half a teaspoon of cumin & taco seasoning.
Blend together then add half of the cheese and blend again.
Scoop the mixture into the center of the fajita ( take the time to lighty brown the fajitas in a frying pan for a few seconds) and lay flat 1 fajita on the bottom then one on the top of the mixture. Repeat this one more time using a well greased baking dish then top with the enchilada sauce then top with the cheese.
I know you don't think this is not the traditional way to make enchiladas but to be honest the people that make it all the time here do it this way so you won't be doing it wrong.
If you have it available or you have additional use for it then chop up some cilantro before you add the cheese if not it's not a necessary part of this meal.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until you see the top starting to brown.
Remove from oven and let stand for about 15 minutes then serve.
If you wish served with a side of refried beans or black beans and sour cream. Many of my friends serve this with Spanish rice on the side.
Anyway you serve it. It's always delicious!
That's it just enjoy!
