Inspired by my Grandma’s Enchilada Recipe.

Hi, my name is Beatrix! This is one of my favorite allergy-friendly dishes to make because it’s so hard to eat Mexican food out at a restaurant when you have allergies. I use chicken when we make this, but you can use any pre-cooked meat, tofu, or no meat at all. This recipe is fun to make with family and friends, especially since it makes a ton of leftovers! Hope you enjoy it!

Makes about 21 enchiladas

Tools:

• Two baking pans/dishes (I use one 9”x13” and one 8”x8” dish)

• 1-2 skillets

• 1 spatula

• 3 or more spoons

• Foil

Enchilada Ingredients:

• 21 Mission Yellow Corn Tortillas

• 1 block of Violife Epic Mature Cheddar

• 1 bag of Violife Colby Jack Shreds

• 1 can (10 oz.) of Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce

• 3-4 Green Onions, chopped

• 1-2 cups of precooked chicken, shredded or cut in small pieces

Directions/Steps:

1. Cook tortillas in a hot pan, for about 1-2 minutes each side. Flip using tongs.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

3. Shred the cheddar. Put the cheddar and colby jack shreds in a bowl and stir.

4. Place a tortilla on a plate, add cheese, chicken, and onions. Roll the tortilla up and place seam side down in a baking dish. Continue this process until you have the desired number of enchiladas.

5. Pour the enchilada sauce on top of the enchiladas, spread evenly. Then, top with extra cheese.

6. Cover the dishes with foil and place in a fully preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

7. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then add fresh green onions on top!

Enjoy!
