Ingredients
-
1 T oil
-
1 Tablespoon Moxie Garlic & Chive Seasoning
-
½ C low sodium chicken broth
-
15 ounces tomato sauce (or pureed tomatoes)
-
1 Tablespoon Moxie Taco Seasoning
-
pinch of ground cinnamon
-
18 ounces chicken breast, cooked & shredded*
-
1 C corn kernels (if desired)
-
1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained (if desired)
-
6 ounces (1 ½ C shredded) low fat cheddar cheese, divided
-
8 soft taco shells of your choice
-
1 C shredded cheddar or Mexican style cheese
Directions
ENCHILADA SAUCE
Heat oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add Garlic & Chive seasoning and sauté for 30 seconds until slightly toasted.
Add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, Moxie Taco Seasoning, and a pinch of cinnamon & stir to combine. Let simmer for 7-10 minutes until thick enough to stick to the back of a spoon.
Add shredded chicken, corn, beans and ½ of the enchilada sauce to a bowl and toss to coat, allowing the sauce to cool slightly. Add ½ of the cheese and incorporate it into the mixture. (Don’t combine this step together and add the sauce and cheese at the same time as the cheese will melt.)
Preheat oven to 375° F (if cooking immediately, do this when you start making the sauce.)
ENCHILADAS
Take 1/8 of the chicken mixture and add it to a wrap. Roll closed and place, seam side down, in a baking dish. Repeat the process until all enchiladas are done.
Pour the remainder of the sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes until enchiladas are hot and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.
