This is a very popular dish. I tend to make it a little spicy since I am from the Southwest, however you can tone it down by adding less of the green chilis. It does depend on the tub of chilis though, some are hotter than others.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken boiled for 2-3 hours meat removed/shreded
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 tub of Frozen Baca green Chili. (If you want it hotter add 1 4 oz can of diced jalapenos additionally)
  • 2 cups of onion chopped
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 16 oz of shredded chedar cheese
  • 50 corn totillas

Directions

Add cream of chicken soup, sour cream, thawed green Chili, chili powder, onion into a bowl and mix to make the sauce. Taste the sauce to see if you want to add the can of jalapenos. Take about 1/3 of this and add it to the meat. Spray each tortilla with a little bit of cooking oil and lightly fry till it just starts to brown. Coat the bottom of the baking pan with a little of the sauce mixture.  Take 1 large tablespoon of the meat and roll inside of the tortilla and add to the baking pan. Repeat until all the meat is gone and the pans are full. Then take the remaining sauce mixture and pour over the rolled tortillas. Top with cheese. You can make a layered enchilada to save time. Just take a little of the meat about 1/4 and spread on the bottom across all the pans. Spread some sauce over this. Sprinkle some of the cheese over it and add a layer of tortilla. Repeat this one or two times more. Then spread some sauce over the top and sprinkle some cheese. Bake at 350 degrees covered with foil for the first 15 minutes and then remove foil and finish baking till the cheese is melted in the center. If you want to garnish chop some green onions and sprinkle over the top.  Serve and enjoy.
