Notes
• To make vegetarian, substitute chicken stock for vegetable stock.
• Leftover sauce saves up to 2 weeks in fridge.
• Here’s my shortened enchilada recipe: we typically use corn tortillas and fill with chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and mexican cheese. Top with enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake for 25 minutes. Easy peasy!
• To keep your corn tortillas from breaking, fill a saute pan with water (1/2″ high) and cook on medium heat. Place the tortilla in pan for about 10 seconds. Flip and repeat. Tortilla should be pliable.
