MY GREEN SAUCE GROUND CHICKEN ENCHILADAS with AVOCADO and BROCOLLI

Enchiladas are the quickest dish to make for dinner. A great idea is to try to have the simple ingredients at home to grab at any given time, such as the sauce, the tortillas and cheeses. Today I did not use red sauce, green was my choice this time.

Ingredients
½ lb. ground chicken ($2.50)
2 tsp. olive oil (.35)
1 tsp. Angie’s dry seasoning (see my link below) (.35)
1 small onion (.40)
3 garlic cloves, chopped (.15)
2 springs of flat parsley or an oregano leave (0)
½ cup of cooked rice, quinoa or whatever you have done in the fridge (.30)
6 white corn tortillas (.50)
1 10 oz. can of mild GREEN enchilada sauce ($1.48) ***
1 cup of broccoli florets ($1.20)
1 ½ cup of Mexican Blend Cheeses ($2.30)
1 avocado ($1.25)
 
Directions

1. Add 2 tsp. of olive oil to a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic.
2. Add the ground chicken, sprinkle my dry seasoning and cook half way through.
3. Add the rice, a couple of tbsp. of the enchilada sauce and stir well.
4. Warm the corn tortillas according to the bag directions. I usually microwave them.
5. Pour few tbsps. of the sauce to cover the bottom of a square baking dish.
6. Scoop a tbsp. of the chicken/rice mix into half of the tortilla, sprinkle cheese and

fold, place in the baking dish, seam side down.

1. When you complete a layer, pour the sauce over with any leftover stuffing, drizzle a bit of olive oil to taste and sprinkle cheese to cover the top.
2. Bake at 350 degrees, just until the cheese melts, about 7-10 minutes.
3. While the enchiladas bake, microwave the broccoli florets until tender.
4. Slice the avocado and add my dried seasoning to taste.
5. Garnish the dish with any green herbs you have at home, I used Cuban oregano.

 
***WARNING: I always try to use Old El Paso brand sauce because it’s gluten free, other brands (like “Essential Everyday”), are not. Please Always read the ingredients if you have family members that can’t eat products with gluten.
