Cottage Cheese Enchiladas

I got this recipe from All Recipes and we all LOVE it. By far the best enchiladas I've ever had. They are naturally gluten free (yippee) but if you are making it for a celiac, watch the ingredients on the enchilada sauce - make sure there isn't any modified food starch (wheat) in it... This recipe feeds our family and 2 missionaries with 1 enchilada left over :)

I'll make this for ya'll when we come for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - boiled and shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • Maybe some olives tossed on top

Directions

  1. To Make Meat Mixture: Heat oil in medium skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, onion and green chile peppers and saute until browned, then add taco seasoning and prepare meat mixture according to package directions.
  2. To Make Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl mix sour cream with cottage cheese and season with salt and pepper; stir until well blended.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. To Assemble Enchiladas: Heat tortillas until soft. In each tortilla place a spoonful of meat mixture, a spoonful of cheese mixture and a bit of shredded cheese. Roll tortillas and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with any remaining meat and cheese mixture, enchilada sauce and remaining shredded cheese.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  1. I made this and loved it!... I did flour tortillas though :)... and I accidentally poured the whole can of enchilada sauce on top... the whole 20 oz can... oops... they were slightly soggy but still super tasty.
