These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Jim's Chicken Enchiladas

This is one of the first recipes Jim made for me when we started dating, and it's one of our favorite stand-bys. Last night was my first attempt at it, and I have to say, it turned out really well!

Makes 6 servings (serving size 1 enchilada)
Ingredients
* 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1/2 cup onion, chopped
* 1 10 oz can hot enchilada sauce
* 1 10 oz can mild enchilada sauce
* 1 4.5 oz can diced, peeled green chiles
* 8 oz pkg shredded cheese, Mexican blend
* 6 large flour tortillas
* Cooking spray
Preparation
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Melt butter in large non-stick skillet, saute onion until tender. Add chicken, hot enchilada sauce, half of the chiles, and half of the cheese to pan, stir.
3. Spray 9 x 13 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
4. Holding a tortilla in one hand, spoon 1/6 of chicken mixture in a line along the middle of the tortilla, roll, and place in one end of the baking dish. Repeat with the other 5 tortillas.
5. Pour the can of mild sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle the other half of the chiles and cheese over the top. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling around the edges.
