White Enchiladas

Written By: Chris - Oct• 05•15

So I like the taste of Enchiladas, but I LOVE white enchiladas!  I am however, not a fan of the way the tortillas usually turn out when I roll them, regardless of which type I make herunterladen.   This recipe is so flavorful and it’s a great way to use up left over cooked chicken or turkey.  The corn tortillas always seem to crack down the sides when rolling them up with the filling; causing everything to fall out herunterladen.  The traditional way to make them is to fry the tortillas in hot oil for a few seconds on each side.  I think this method works, but it also adds a lot of fat and calories and I refuse to use flour tortillas for this dish, because the flavor just isn’t the same do not download whatsapp group media.   I have heard that dipping the tortillas in warmed enchilada sauce before your roll should help, but that doesn’t usually work for me either auslogics disk defrag deutsch herunterladen.  The moral of this story is that I have found that the easiest way to make great tasting enchiladas is to layer the ingredients like a lasagna.

I created this dish with ingredients that I had on hand and this recipe is different then the traditional type of enchiladas because it’s prepared with white sauce farm frenzy kostenlosen vollversion deutsch.  I used left over turkey and fresh roasted poblano peppers.  It’s easy and delicious and I’m warning you, these are even better than “regular” Mexican food Download the electronic travel book for free.
