Question 1

How to make chicken enchiladas?

Accepted Answer

There are different ways to make chicken enchiladas, but a general method is to combine cooked shredded chicken with some enchilada sauce and seasonings, then fill tortillas with the mixture and roll them up. Place the filled tortillas seam side down in a baking dish, cover with more sauce and cheese, and bake until bubbly.

Question 2

What kind of tortillas are best for chicken enchiladas?

Accepted Answer

Corn tortillas are traditionally used for enchiladas, as they have more flavor and texture than flour tortillas. However, some people prefer flour tortillas for their softness and flexibility. You can use either kind of tortilla, but make sure to warm them up before filling them to prevent them from cracking or breaking.

Question 3

How to make homemade enchilada sauce?

Accepted Answer

Homemade enchilada sauce is easy to make with pantry staples. You can start by heating some oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then whisking in some flour and chili powder. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, then gradually whisk in some chicken broth, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened.

Question 4

What can I add to chicken enchiladas for more flavor or texture?

You can customize your chicken enchiladas by adding different ingredients to the filling or topping. Some common additions are black beans, corn, diced green chiles, bell peppers, onion, garlic or cream cheese. You can also sprinkle some fresh cilantro or green onions over the baked enchiladas for a burst of color and flavor.

Question 5

How long will the chicken enchiladas keep in the fridge or freezer?

Accepted Answer

Chicken enchiladas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat them from the fridge, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until heated through. To reheat them from frozen, you can thaw them overnight in the fridge first or bake them directly from frozen at 375°F for about 45 minutes or until hot.

Question 6

When does Chicken Enchiladas expire?

Accepted Answer

Chicken enchiladas, like many prepared foods, last about 3-4 days in the refrigerator after being prepared or opened. They can stay good for up to 6 months if frozen right after preparation. The expiration date on the package only applies if the enchiladas remain unopened and stored at refrigerated temperatures. Please remember that the printed date on the package is a suggested sell-by date and not necessarily the expiration date.

Question 7

How do you tell if Chicken Enchiladas is bad?

Accepted Answer

While it takes some practice, there are several signs that your chicken enchiladas have gone bad. The first sign of spoilage is a significant change in color, such as turning grey or brown, which could be the result of bacteria growth. The second sign is a sour, off-putting smell. If you also notice a slimy or moldy texture, then they are definitely not safe to eat. And in case you have any doubt, remember this rule: when in doubt, throw it out!

Question 8

Tips for storing Chicken Enchiladas to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store your chicken enchiladas in the refrigerator or freezer, never at room temperature.

• For short term storage, use airtight containers or aluminum foil in the refrigerator to slow down bacteria growth.

• For longer term storage, consider freezing them. To freeze, wrap each enchilada individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before putting them in a zip-top bag or airtight container. This way, you can defrost and heat a single serving at a time.

• Always defrost in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave using the defrost setting. Do not defrost at room temperature, as it can cause bacteria to multiply.
