Enchilada Therapy

Jump to Comments

When the day is too long and there is too much to think about, all is made right for a few hours by making a solid batch of comfort food.

Tonight, I made these:

Saute together 2 chopped up chicken breasts and 1/2  fresh onion until the onion is carmelized.  Pulse in the food processor (briefly) until chicken is in coarse shreds.  Add a little salsa, a little shredded cheddar, and 8oz of softened cream cheese. 

Spoon a generous amount into a flour tortilla (fresh, not frozen and thawed because that is a disastrous result), roll up and place in a greased baking pan.  Open a can (yes, a can) of green enchilada sauce and drizzle over the top.  Cover with the remainder of the shredded cheddar cheese (about 6oz) and dollop with sour cream and top with jalepeno slices if you want. 

Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.  Let it sit for about five minutes to set up, then have a couple on your plate, let everyone else eat, and then have a few leftover for tomorrow’s lunch. 

Rabbit downed a whole one, along with half a bottle of strawberry milk she talked me into letting her get yesterday at the store.  Her stomach is distended and she’s playing her belly like a drum in the shower.  I’m drowsy from carbs.  A good dinner, I think.
