Clinton's legacy - chicken enchiladas

[demdave]

Bill and Hillary have done a book of their own - and some their buddies' - favourite recipes. Here is a tasty selection for you to try at home

MY 1000th POST lolololololol :)

Bill Clinton's favourite chicken enchiladas

2 (4oz) cans chopped green chillies, drained
1 garlic clove, minced
Cooking oil
1 (28oz) can tomatoes
2 cups chopped onion
2 tsps salt, divided
tsp oregano
3 cups shredded, cooked chicken
2 cups sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
cup cooking oil
15 corn or flour tortillas

In a large skillet over a medium-high heat, sauté the chillies and garlic in a small amount of oil. Drain the tomatoes, reserving cup of liquid. Break up tomatoes and add to skillet. Add the onion, 1 tsp salt, oregano, and reserved liquid. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened (about 30 minutes). Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, sour cream, cheese, and remaining 1 tsp salt. In the same skillet over a medium-high heat, heat cup oil. Dip the tortillas in the oil until they become limp and drain well on paper towels. Fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture; roll up and arrange side by side, seam side down, in a 9x13x2-inch baking dish. Pour the tomato mixture over the enchiladas. Bake at 350C for 20 minutes or until heated thoroughly.

Makes 15 enchiladas

3. It's a lot easier with canned chilis...this is almost my own recipe, but I

use way less tomatos. :D

Edit: Just noticed I spelled the plural of "tomato" without an "e". Reminded me of Dan Q. hehehe....
