 Lone Star Chicken Enchiladas

Lone Star Chicken Enchiladas require 3 cups of shredded cooked chicken, which will be an entire bird. If you want to use white meat only, you'll need to buy a couple of rotisserie chickens and save the dark meat for another use. Instructions are included on how to make ahead and freeze. Seasoned rice and fresh fruit on the side.

 Lone Star Chicken Enchiladas

3 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green
     chiles, drained
3/4 cup salsa verde
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
1 can (2 1/4 ounces) sliced black olives, drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded pepper jack cheese

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a shallow bowl, combine cream and salt.

Dip both sides of each tortilla in cream mixture; top with 1/4 cup chicken mixture. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Pour remaining cream mixture over top; sprinkle with cheese. (If you want to freeze, cover and place in freezer for up to six months.) Bake in 350-degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through.

To cook frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through.

Serves 6.

  Tip of the day.
To revive crystalized honey, place the jar in a saucepan filled with an inch of water. Heat over very low heat and stir often, until the crystals melt. Or, and this would likely work better with a plastic container of honey, place in microwave and heat on high for 10-second intervals. Stir with a chopstick!
