Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 poblano pepper, sliced
- 1 cup corn
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 cans (15 ounces) Red Enchilada Sauce
- 1 1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and poblano peppers and saute for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add the corn, green chili peppers, garlic, cumin and chili powder and saute for a few minutes more until the vegetables are caramelized. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
- Remove the vegetable mixture from the pan and set it aside. Pour the enchilada sauce into the same pan and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to warm through.
- Pour 1 cup of warmed sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish.
- To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla into the sauce then lay on a plate. Sprinkle a bit of each type of cheese down the middle, followed by some of the shredded chicken/vegetable mixture. Roll it up tightly, then place it, seam side down, in the pan. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
- Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake it for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
- Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with any toppings as needed. Serve immediately.
