Dinner Angel Recipe: Chicken Enchiladas Rojas

This recipe is a winner for meal prep and freezing, making it ideal for a batch cooking day. It delivers incredible flavor and structure, meaning you can make a huge batch and freeze portions for later deliveries.

Ingredients You'll Need

• 4-5 dried chilies (soaked overnight)
• 1.5 - 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 white onion, sliced
• 4 green onions (whites and greens separated)
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
• 1 chipotle adobo sauce packet
• Garlic cloves, minced
• Chicken stock (2 cups)
• Pepperjack and Oaxaca cheese blend
• Lime, for garnish

Easy Steps for Batch Cooking

1. Prep the Sauce: Soak the dried chilies in boiling water for 30 minutes to overnight. Remove stems and seeds. In a blender, combine the softened chilies, 2 cups of chicken stock, and the seasoning (salt, pepper). Blend until smooth.
2. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs generously with kosher salt, pepper, and ground chipotle pepper. Sear the chicken in avocado oil for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Build the Base: In a pot, sauté the sliced onion and green onion whites until tender. Stir in the Mexican oregano, chipotle adobo, and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant.
4. Simmer: Pour the blended chili sauce into the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
5. Shred & Assemble: Shred the cooked chicken (a pro tip for easy shredding is to lightly fry the cooked chicken pieces in neutral oil until they puff up, then dip them in the sauce). Assemble the enchiladas by dipping the tortillas in the sauce, filling with chicken and cheese, and gently rolling.
6. Bake & Prep: Bake or lightly fry the rolls until the cheese is melted and the structure is sealed.

🌟 Batch Cooking Tip: This dish is incredible for freezer meals! Assemble the enchiladas fully, wrap them tightly in foil, and freeze. When you're ready to deliver, just pop them in the oven and reheat. This saves you time and guarantees a perfect meal for your Dinner Angel customer.
