Best Enchiladas Con Crema Low Budget Way Recipes

SIMPLE PERFECT ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• For the meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Brown the ground beef with the onions. Drain the fat, and then add the green chiles. Add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• For the rest: In a small skillet over medium heat, lightly fry the tortillas in canola oil just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortillas on a cookie sheet. Onto each tortilla, place some of the meat mixture, black olives and green onions. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
• Place the tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Stir the cilantro into the sauce and ladle a little sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese.
• Bake the enchiladas until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle extra chopped cilantro over the top. Serve with beans and/or rice.

ENCHILADAS CON CREMA (LOW BUDGET WAY)

Steps:

• 1. Fill a larger saucepan with about 1 1/2 inches of water. Add the chicken strips to the pan and cover. Cook over medium heat until done, checking occasionally to add a tiny bit of water, if it is all dried up before the chicken is done. Keep the water very low tho' as to ensure that the chicken is roasted, not boiled. The chicken will be white and falling apart, with some crispy brown pieces on it and the bottom of the pan. Shred the chicken in the saucepan, scraping the bottom of the pan as much as possible.
• 2. Saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil, in the bottom of a the same sauce pan, continueing to scrape the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken back in the saucepan and stir it up well.
• 3. In a separate sauce pan, pour in the soup, sour cream chilis and milk. Stir constantly as you heat well. Add 1 cup of grated cheese. Stir until melted. Add 2 cups of this sauce to the meat mixture, and mix well.
• 4. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-13 inch baking dish with vegetable spray. Pour some of the soup mixture into the pan, spread evenly all over the bottom...just barely. Preheat the oven now, to 350 degrees.
• 5. Take one tortilla at a time, and immerse it in the sauce. Set partway in the baking dish, and ladle the chicken into the tortilla, spreading out a strip of filling just right or left of the center from one side to the other. Sprinkle cheese over the filling. Roll up the tortilla and push it to the end of the baking dish. Repeat with each tortilla, squeezing them all into the same baking dish. Pour remaining sauce onto the enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
• 6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until good and hot. Garnish with a dollop of salsa, a dollop of sour cream and sliced black olives (optional). Remove each tortilla carefully from the pan, so as not to tear them up! Enjoy!
