Show Me The Money!!

I was making this really adorable quilt (just because I liked it) and apparently Mom did too!!! She liked it so much that she donated it to her church for a raffle. Her church is very poor and these old ladies were looking in their closets for things to donate for the raffle. Most everything they found, went in the trash. Then they tried making crafts (like glueing toothpicks together in the shape of a cross), but that didn't go over so well....sooooooo good ole Mom opened her mouth. I wasn't even done with it and they were selling tickets!! So since I believe this is the only item for the show, I'm hoping you all will buy a couple tickets. You have to get the money to Mom soon, because the raffle is 11/3. I don't even know how much they are selling for, but I have to buy some too, because I really wanted this quilt. Mom also volunteered Lori's biscotties for snacks!! Way to go Mom. The priest loves her!! Send Money....

Ingredients-

Filling:

1 Rotisserie Chicken, meat pulled from the bones (can used chopped cooked chicken)

½ Yellow Onion, chopped extra small

1 Tomato, chopped extra small

½-1 Jalepeno (depending on how spicy you want it), chopped extra small

1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic

1 Can of Chopped Green Chiles

1 (7.4 oz) can of salsa de chile fresca (a Mexican-style tomato sauce with chilies, cilantro,

garlic and onions- make your own if you need to)

¾ Cup of Swiss Cheese

½ Pack of Cream Cheese

Sauce:

2 Cups (approximate) of Sour Cream

1 Cup of Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Teaspoon

1 Tsp. Chicken Bouillon

Flour tortillas

Cooking Spray

1 Cup of Swiss Cheese (get the good stuff from the deli)

Chopped Green Onions

Chopped Cilantro

Directions- (preheat oven to 360 degrees)

For filling: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan and sautee garlic until slightly browned. Add onion, tomato, and jalepeno. Cook for 5-6 minutes on med-high heat until well cooked and veggies look translucent. Add chicken and chiles and cook until warm throughout. Add both cheese and continue cooking until all cheese is melted and well mixed. Add salt and any other seasonings (like cilantro, cumin and oregano) to taste.

For Sauce: Heat the heavy whipping cream in the microwave until bubbling (about 1 minute). Add the bouillon and stir until dissolved. Add the sour cream and whisk until mixed through.

To Assemble: Heat the tortillas according to package to make pliable. Spoon chicken mixture onto center of tortilla. Roll tortillas up and place into a greased baking dish with the seams down. Once full, pour the sour cream sauce onto the enchiladas. This recipe might make extra sauce. Only top with enough sauce to coat the tops of the enchiladas and fill pan about ½ to 2/3 way full. Top with Swiss Cheese. Add a handful of green onions and cilantro. Bake at 360 degrees for about 15 minutes until the sauce is very thick (looks like ricotta) and the cheese bubbles. Turn the broiler on High and continue baking for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is golden and crispy in spots. Serve & Enjoy Enchiladas. Slap your mama.

Our trip to Cloudland Canyon did not turn out very well. It rained the entire day, it was freezing while we had lunch and we didn't get to do any hiking. But as you can see we still had fun.
