Mos Mouthwatering Chicken Enchiladas
- 2 whole Medium-sized Cooked Chickens From The Deli Counter
- 32 ounces, fluid Chicken Stock
- 1 can Tomatoes (400 Gr Or 14 Oz) Or 142 Gr/5 Oz Can Tomato Puree
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
- 18 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder/granules (not Salt)
- 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder/granules (not Salt)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Hot Chili Powder
- 1/2 cups Corn Flour/starch
- 13 cups Sugar (or More To Taste)
- 1 package Large Flour Tortillas (8 Count)
- 1 pound Grated Cheddar Cheese (use As Much Or As Little As You Want)
- Start with ready-cooked whole chicken from your supermarket deli.
- Strip the chicken from the bone and shred to bite-sized pieces.
- For the sauce:
- To a large soup pot add the chicken stock, add the tomatoes and spices and blend well.
- It may seem like an excessive amount of chili, but the chicken will absorb a lot of the heat.
- Cook over medium heat until bubbly.
- Add the corn flour/starch to an equal amount of water and add it into the mixture.
- The corn flour/corn starch should thicken the sauce to a gravy consistency.
- Add the shredded chicken and heat through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Adding enough sugar is important to bring out the spicy flavour.
- At this point, you could assemble the enchiladas, but it will be easier if you refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
- To assemble:
- Grease a rectangular casserole dish (approximately 9x13).
- Open the package of tortillas and microwave for 40 seconds to soften them.
- Lay one tortilla on a large plate and spread a large spoonful or two of chicken and sauce mixture around 2/3rds of the tortilla, extending to the edges.
- Lightly sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Roll up and place in the casserole dish.
- Continue with remaining tortillas.
- You should aim to have some sauce left at this point, which you now spread over the rolled up enchiladas, covering all the tortillas.
- Sprinkle generously with more grated cheese.
- Bake in a hot oven (400 F, 200 C) for 20-30 minutes, until the cheese begins to brown.
- Let the casserole set for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Optional extra: drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with chopped jalapenos.
