ENCHILADAS
Step 5
Poach the chicken breasts in enough water to cover until 160F internally.
Step 6
Cook the raw tortillas according to the instructions. If using regular corn tortillas heat until flexible.
Step 7
Shred or dice the chicken once cooled. Mix 1/2 of the sauce, 1/2 of the cheese, the onion and all but 3 tablespoons of the chiles into the chicken.
Step 8
Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas and roll, and place into an oiled 9" x 9" casserole dish.
Step 9
Pour the sauce over the enchiladas evenly and sprinkle with additional chiles if desired.
