Salsa & Enchiladas

By brookiescookies

Tonight our Japanese friend Nanae came over to learn how to make Mexican food. CookingWe made some pretty simple, yet delicious recipes. The salsa recipe is from my Aunt Debbie and the enchilada recipe is one my husband grew up on. SalsaSalsa- combine the following. For peak flavor refrigerate overnight.-2 cans diced tomatoes-4 oz can diced green chiles-1 clove minced garlic-juice of one lemon-1 Tbsp olive oil-1/2 purple onion, chopped-1 tsp cumin-1/2 tsp crushed oregano (optional)-1/2 tsp salt-1/4 tsp pepper-1/2 bunch cilantro, choppedGreen Chicken Enchiladas EnchiladasIngredients:-mozzarella cheese-chicken, cooked and shredded/sliced into 1″ strips-corn tortillas-vegetable oil-diced olives-chopped onion-canned green enchilada sauce (in shallow bowl)We don’t have a recipe we follow and this can be made in various quantities so it’s more a guide than a recipe. Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Dip corn tortillas, one by one, in warm oil for a few seconds until pliable. This is so you can roll the tortilla without it breaking. Dip tortilla in green sauce and coat well. Fill with chicken, onion, olives and cheese. Roll and place in pan. Cover with remaining enchilada sauce, cheese, and olives. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
