So, What's Wrong With Hogo Boss? Nothing!

 
 
I will be the first to admit that this is not exactly authentic Mexican.  This here recipe is most definitely gringo Mexican and not only is that okay, its delicious!  Its easy to get caught up in world of authentic food snobbery,but, seriously people, life is too short to think that way. When I shop its all about how it looks, not the brand.  Ayman has a HOGO BOSS tuxedo that we bought in Cairo that beats the pants off of any Hugo Boss anything that I have ever seen. This enchilada recipe is the Hogo Boss of Mexican food and if I say so myself it too beats the pants off of many much more authentic enchiladas. It may be a knock off, but, its damn good and I know you'll love it!

Written, developed and tested by: Vanessa Madigan
 

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs shredded chicken, cooked
1 7oz can diced green chilies
1 8oz brick of cream cheese
2 serrano chilies, finely chopped
3 green onion, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
1 15oz can of corn
1 28oz can of green chili enchilada sauce
3 cups of shredded cheese
1 small can of sliced black olives
3 tomatoes, chopped (for garnish)
1 package medium sized flour tortillas


Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, corn, seranno chilies, green onions, green chilies, and about 2 cups of the enchilada sauce.
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish.
  • Spoon the chicken filling into the flour tortillas and roll together rather tightly, placing each one in the baking dish seam down.  Continue until the baking dish is full, it should be about 8 enchiladas total, but may vary due to the size of your pan and the amount of filling in each enchilada.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas and finish by sprinkling your cheese on the top.
  • Bake at 350 for about 1/2 an hour.  Remove from oven when cheese is melted and the pan is bubbling, garnish with fresh tomato, black olive and green onion and serve!
