Chicken Enchiladas- on this week's menu
(serves 4)
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized red onion (sliced)
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 small white onion (chopped small)
- 1-8 ounce can diced tomatoes in puree (the puree will make the sauce, or else I'd use fresh!)
- a handful of cliantro
- juice from one lime
- 1 lb. leftover chicken
- 1/2 c. sharp cheddar (when you use more flavorful cheeses, you won't need as much to satisfy you!)
- 2 tbsp. sour cream
- corn tortillas: 4 big or 8 small(optional)
- Saute red onion in a hot skillet until tender, about 5 mins
- Add bell peppers and continue to cook another few minutes, until peppers are cooked through. Set aside in a large bowl
- Meanwhile, make the salsa in a medium bowl by combining chopped white onion with the tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, taste and set aside
- Grate cheddar into the large bowl (where the onions and peppers are)
- Shred up leftover chicken and add to cheddar the large bowl
- Add sour cream to taste
- Season with salt and pepper, and taste to see if it's good
- Add this mixture to corn tortillas, roll them up and place in a baking pan
- Top with salsa
- Bake until warmed through, about 15-20 mins.
- (NOTE if you would like to keep this paleo, you can ditch the tortillas and just make a big salad by putting the ingredients on top of leafy greens- the salsa acts as a dressing)

Sounds great! Last night my wife made non-paleo enchiladas with cream cheese, etc. I wish we had seen this recipe first. Will try it out with the left overs. Thanks.
