Last week, I made chicken enchiladas. I bought a rotisserie chicken from costco and shredded the chicken. I bought enchilada sauce, tortillas, cheese, canned tomatoes and beans from Trader Joe's. I forgot to take pictures until after we ate, so I apologize for the pictures of almost empty dishes.
I started the meal by making rice. I used 2 cups on long grain rice, toasted it, and then added canned tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili powder. I let it come to a boil, then covered it. It simmered for 20 minutes.
Then, I started on the beans. I heated a pan, sauteed garlic and jalapeno peppers in olive oil. Then, I drained two cans of beans and added them to the pan. Finally, I added two cans of chicken broth. It all reduced down and made super creamy beans!
Finally, I covered the pan and tortillas with enchilada sauce, and rolled them with the shredded chicken. Then, I topped the dish filled with enchiladas with cheese and olives. They went in the oven, and almost immediately into my belly.
Can you tell I was hungry when I made this meal?
