Grandma C's Chicken Enchiladas
Chopped/cubed cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (may use artificial chicken-I rec Quorn brand)
Cream of chicken or mushroom soup
Sour cream
Canned chopped green chilies
Shredded cheese (cheddar/jack blend is good)
Sliced olives
Garlic powder
Chicken broth from cooking chicken (or canned or use a little veggie broth)
Corn tortillas
Cook, cool and cut up chicken. Or defrost already cooked chicken. In bowl mix together soup and sour cream, add a little garlic, the chilies, then the chicken. You should have a lot of sauce with chicken in it. Spread a little of the soup mix on the bottom of the baking pan. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons soup chicken mix in the center of each tortilla, roll up and place seam side down in baking pan. After pan(s) is filled, spread remaining soup over top of tortillas. Sprinkle heavily with cheese and scatter olives over top. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes, until hot and well melted. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Grandma Hoffman's Enchiladas
Ground beef (can also use artificial ground beef. I also rec Quorn crumbles)
Eggs
Tomato sauce
garlic powder
chili powder (optional)
steamed onions (optional)
Corn tortillas
Brown ground beef and drain fat off. Add eggs and scramble through (say 1 pound ground beef and 4-6 eggs). While meat is cooking, pour several cans tomato sauce and equal amount water into large kettle, add garlic and chili, heat to boiling. Mix flour/water thickener, as for gravy, and mix into tomato sauce to make medium thick tomato gravy, add onions. Lower temp and keep warm.
To assemble, place tortilla in hot tomato gravy and turn over to coat. Place on plate/platter and fill with 1-2 tablespoons meat/egg mix on one side of tortilla, fold other side over and spoon a little sauce over. Can sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan if desired.
