Brainy Gourmet Version of Enchiladas...

 

Enchiladas... Yes indeed, there are many different ways to make enchiladas but mostly they consist of a combination of ingredients: choice of meat (beef/chicken/pork) and vegetables, beans (optional), cheese, salsa sauce. 

The Brainy Gourmet has been and remains very frugal. Which means if there are any recent leftovers that can be used in a 'new' way...they will be used. 

For this dish, a leftover veggie stir fry medley was used along with fresh, diced 'pre-cooked' chicken breasts (1lb), a Mexican cheese blend (grocer package variety) and salsa sauce. 

To begin, simply prepare the chicken by sauteing in a skillet and add any spices you prefer such as chili powder, garlic powder and a bit of salt. 

Once browned, take the cooked diced chicken to make the enchilada by stuffing a tortilla, roll it up and place it in a glass baking dish drizzled with olive oil. Continue this until you have filled up the baking dish. 

Turn your oven to 400f. Top the enchiladas with grilled peppers or onions (in this case- a veggie medley). Finally, spread a layer of salsa sauce over the enchiladas and top with an excessive amount of cheese. Bake until the top is crispy.
