The Lunch Hour - Enchiladas

I've been thinking about what we can do to make good food at work with the least amount of work and time. Yesterday we made green and red enchiladas. They turned out great and everyone enjoyed them.

Red Enchiladas:

Ingredients:
Red sauce
Tortillas
Shredded Chicken
Mexican Cheese

Tools you might/will need:
Toaster oven
Toaster oven pan
Plate
Plastic bag
Spatula

Green Enchiladas:

Ingredients:
Green sauce
Tortillas
Shredded Chicken
Oil for frying

Tools you might/will need:
Electric skillet
Plate
Spatula

Condiments:
Lettuce - cut up thinly
Onions - cut into thin rounds
Tomato - cut into thin rounds
Mexican Cheese - crumbled
Mexican Cream

For the oven baked red enchiladas:
Pre-heat your toaster oven to 300 degrees F. Place about 20 tortillas into a plastic bag and microwave for about a minute to make them supple enough to roll up. Pour some of your red sauce onto a plate. Place the tortilla on the red sauce and then flip the tortilla over to cover all of the tortilla with red sauce. Place shredded chicken and some cheese into your red tortilla and roll it up. Place your enchilada in your toaster oven pan and continue this until your pan is all full of enchiladas. Crumble some more cheese on top and place into the oven for 20 minutes. Bring out of the oven and let them cool a little. And then apply what ever condiments you might like to your enchiladas and enjoy!



For fried green enchiladas:
Pour some of your green sauce into a plate and microwave it until it is hot. Microwave your chicken in a little plastic bag with some water. (This keeps your chicken from drying out.) Turn on an electric skillet to high so that you can fry your tortillas. Pour about 2tbsp of oil into a small electric skillet. Place a tortilla onto the oil and fry both sides until supple and slightly crispy (if you like them that way, which I do). Lift the tortilla out of your skillet and place onto your plate of green sauce. Coat both sides of the tortilla by flipping it over a few times. Place your green enchiladas on a clean plate and fill with chicken. Apply any desired condiments and enjoy!
