Just before heading into the oven.....
A casserole of melted, gooey, cheesy goodness.....
Topped with sour cream & green onions (I added tomatoes too after I took the picture)...right before I devoured them!
Ingredients:
2. Line bottom of 9 x 13 pan with 1/2 cup chili gravy.
3. In a medium bowl mix shredded chicken, beans (I smashed mine a bit, I seem to have slight texture issues with whole beans), cheese, and sour cream.
4. Lay out one tortilla* and place 1/2 cup of filling mixture down the center. Fold up tortilla tucking in the ends and rolling into a cylinder. Place enchilada into pan, seam side down, and repeat process until all the filling mixture is gone.
5. Top enchiladas with chili gravy and cheese. Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5 additional minutes. Serve with a sour cream, green onions and tomatoes if desired....which I highly recommend!!!!!
*My secret for making flour tortillas pliable and easy to fold is to turn on a burner on the gas stove on and flop the tortilla over it. Let it set for about 15 seconds and then flip it over and let the other side warm for 15 seconds. Please remember that you are dealing with flames here so if your tortilla starts to smoke or catches on fire turn off the burner and remove the tortilla.
*I don't have a gas stove, I placed tortillas between dampened paper towels and heated for 40 seconds. This was my first time working with corn tortillas, the started to break slightly, but held up. If any one has any other method of preparing them, let me know!
