Enchiladas, Mexican rice, and refried beans.

Enchiladas, Mexican rice, and refried beans.  Not amazing, but what Mexican dish is?  You will enjoy it.

Gather the following ingredients:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Poblano pepper

Jalapeno pepper
Enchilada sauce
Cheddar Cheese
Chicken - cooked

Tortilla, small

Mexican rice

Refried beans


Large glass pan
Medium pan
Medium sized pot with lid
Small pot

Optional:

Hot sauce

Cut the poblano into long strips and then again into small one inch or less chunks.  Fry on a medium heat until done (easily cut in two with spatula).  Stir often to prevent overcooking one side.


Cut the jalapenos into small bits.

 
Place the poblanos, jalapenos, pieces of chicken, a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, and just enough enchilada sauce to tint the chicken into a bowl.  Stir.  Let this sit about twenty minutes to soak in the chicken.

 
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place chicken into the tortilla.  Fold it and place it into the glass pan.
- Tortillas want to fold along the grain.  Make sure you work with the natural fold.

 
Fill the pan.

 
Cover the enchiladas with the remaining enchilada sauce and then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.


Cook for 30 minutes.

Cook the Mexican rice according to the directions.  Stir every 7 minutes.
- I use butter instead of oil.

 
 
Cook the refried beans on an extremely low temperature.


When all 3 items are complete put them on the same plate and serve.  Perfection.

 
Top with your favorite hot sauce for taste.
