Cherry Enchiladas
Submitted by: Brigantine
Rated: 5 out of 5 by 17 members Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes Ready In: 9 Hours
Yields: 5 servings
"Cherry Pie like you've never had it before! Cherry pie filling wrapped in flour tortillas, soaked overnight in a sweet liquid, then baked. I used to work at a bed and breakfast, and we would make this sometimes for catered luncheons. I added my own touch with the almonds."
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
5 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon crushed sliced
almonds
DIRECTIONS:
1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Combine the water, butter and 1/2 cup of sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Place a few spoonfuls of cherry pie filling just slightly off center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Pour the hot liquid over the 'enchiladas' making sure to coat the tops completely. The mixture will be watery. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon and almonds in a small bowl or cup; sprinkle over the top of the enchiladas.
3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until outside edges of the tortillas are golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

For Chicken:
Bake in a 400 degree Oven or Steam with a double boiler.
4 Chicken Breasts
Garlic Salt
Rub Garlic Salt on chicken. Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
Substitute Garlic Salt with your favorite Herbs and Spices. But for steaming, rub in salt and steam until the chicken is done.
You can also substitue Chicken Breasts for Chicken Thighs.
For Beef:
Since thin and marinade in Teriyaki Sauce (or your choice of sauces) for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best flavoring. Stir-fry with Broccoli, Chinese Broccoli, or vegetable of your choice. Pour over your favorite rice or noodles.
