Chicken Enchilada recipe

2 sm Cans diced green chili

Small layer of sauce on bottom, then a layer of corn tortillas, then sauce, chicken and grated cheddar cheese. Then start again until pan is full. Cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes
*******************************************
To make the chimichangas
you need at least a 10 to 12 inch flour tortilla
You can buy chi chi's seasoning for there garlic and pepper taco seasoning that they use in both the chimi's and the taco salad.
It is called fiesta restaurante seasoning mix.
Brown your meat, drain and add the seasoning mix.
lay out your tortilla, It usually pays to soften according to package directions in order for it to roll more easily
fill the tortilla about 1/3 of the way down the tortilla, not in the middle for it is like a boritto and needs room for rolling. You will probably use about 1 to 1/2 cups of meat depending on how big your tortilla. Layer on about 1/2 cup of shredded monterey jack cheese. Roll starting at the meat and cheese end one roll, tuck in the ends and roll until it is tucked up like a sausage. Now here is where it gets interesting. You can try sealing the edges with water or egg white, I personally do not know if those would work for I have always held it together with a tooth pick to start out. Deep fry until light to medium golden brown.
To make the sauce.
You can buy green chilies in a can. I believe chi chi's even sell these in the grocery stores as well.
Drain the can of chilies and add to beef stock or broth
You can add other seasonings such as garlic and cumin if so desired and possibly onion as well. It is all really to your taste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Thicken with cornstarch and cold water.
The cornstarch package will give you direction as to the amount you will need.
Heat the small can of chilies and a can of beef broth somewhere between 2 to 3 cups. It is not an exact science.
Bring to a gentle boil and thicken with the cornstarch mixture.
drain your chimi changas and pour about 1/2 to 2/3 cup sauce over. Garnish with sour cream and green onion if desired.
I am sorry I do not have a more exact recipe for I have not made these in quite some time, so I am going a lot on memory.
All I can say is play with the recipe it is a lot of fun and I think it was very close to the yummy chimichanga's they served in the restaurant.
If you cannot find the chi chi seasoning mix. And I stress
it is the fiesta restorante and not. I repeat not the fiesta taco mix.
here is basically what it has in it
garlic powder
onion powder
cumin
small diced green peppers
small diced onion
salt
pepper
add these to your browned and drained ground meat until you like the taste
Again I do not have exact measurements. I am a throw it in until it tastes right cook.

Answer 2

An Enchilada is covered in sauce and is usually made with a corn tortilla.

A Chimichanga is like a fried burrito made with a flour tortilla. My personal favorite. (Grilled beef is the best mmmmmmmmm.)

And a burrito is a plain tortilla filled with ingredients. (not cooked on the outside)
These can all have the same filling but the difference is the way you prepare the outside of the tortilla.

Answer 3

Enchilada: tortilla wrapped around filling, covered with sauce and cheese, baked.
Burrito: tortilla wrapped around filling, squeezed, and steamed.
Chimichanga: small burrito, deep fried.

I like enchiladas. Beef, cheese, crab, whatever.
