Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
2 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp mexican seasoning
1 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
5 canned whole green chilies, seeded and coarsely chopped
4 canned chipotle chiles, seeded and minced
1 (28 oz) can stewed tomatoes
1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
16 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, canned
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese , and jack cheeses
chopped cilantro leaf
chopped scallion
chopped tomato
sour cream

Directions:

Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.
Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.
