Quick Freezer Chix Enchiladas
- Meat Mixture:
- 3 Tbsp. cooking oil
- 3 small onions,chopped
- 2 4 oz. cans chopped green chilies
- 5 cup cooked & shredded chicken or turkey
- 3 pkg. taco seasoning mix
- 2 cup water
- Cottage Cheese Mixture:
- 3 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 20 8" tortillas
- 3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese,divided
- 4 10 oz. cans red enchilada sauce
- For the Meat:
- In a large skillet, heat oil; saute onions and chilies until onions are cooked. (about 5 minutes)
- Add chicken, taco seasoning, and water; simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Set aside.
- For the Cheese:
- In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper.
- Set aside.
- Measure out 2 cup of the shredded cheese (you'll use the other 1 cup for a topping)
- Assembly:
- Heat tortillas until soft (I just wrap them in a damp paper towel and nuke them in the microwave for a few seconds)
- Spoon about 4 Tbsp. of the meat onto each tortilla.
- Spoon about 3 Tbsp. of the cottage cheese mixture onto the meat mixture.
- Top with 1 heaping Tablespoon of shredded cheese.
- Roll up the tortilla and place in a covered baking dish.
- Simply cover your baking dishes, label them, and put them in the freezer.
- I like using glass baking dishes with tight-fitting lids so my food doesn't get freezer-burn or spill. I also like preparing several different size dishes so I can easily adapt our meal for large or small groups.
- Baking Day:
- Now comes the easy part!
- Pull out a pan of enchiladas in the morning (it doesn't matter if they are
- completely defrosted)
- Preheat your oven to 350*.
- Pour a can of enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the sauce.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes (depending on how frozen they still are)
- Enjoy!
