 This sauce can be made a day ahead to save time, it takes a little time but you will be greatly rewarded for doing it fresh.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 medium , Boneless skinless Chicken Breast Halves Boiled and Shredded
  • 1/2 large , Onion Chopped
  • 3 large , Garlic Cloves Crushed
  • 1/2 cup(s) , Cilantro
  • 6 large , Flour Tortillas
  • 1 large , Block Pepper Jack Cheese Shredded
  • 1 cup(s) , Sour Cream
  • 5 medium , Dried Pasilla Chilies Seeded
  • 3 medium , Dried Callifornia Chilies Seeded
  • 2 cup(s) , Chicken Stock Hot
  • 1/4 cup(s) , Fresh Cilantro Leaves
  • 3 large , Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 medium , Tomato Chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) , Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) , Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon(s) , Vegetable Oil

Instructions:
MAKE ENCHILADA SAUCE IN ADVANCE, UP TO A DAY IF DESIRED: Over a medium-high heat, toast the chiles until fragrant, about 30 to 60 seconds. Cover with the chicken stock and let sit, about 20 minutes.
In a blender, place the chiles and stock. Blend until chopped. Add the cilantro, garlic, oregano, cumin, vinegar, tomato, and salt and pepper. Blend until very smooth.

Over a medium heat, in a heavy skillet, heat the oil. Pour the sauce into the oil and cook for about 10 minutes.

ASSEMBLE ENCHILADAS: In a large saute pan, saute onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Throw in shredded cooked chicken and toss with a little bit of the enchilada sauce, enough to coat. Squeeze in a lime’s juice, if desired. Continue to cook, just until warmed through. Warm flour tortillas and fill about 6 with a little chicken mixture and a little shredded jalapeno jack cheese. Roll and place in a 13 x 9 casserole dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Top with enchilada sauce and more shredded jack cheese. Bake in 375 F oven until thoroughly warmed through, about 30-45 minutes.
