Enchiladas Recipes

White Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
Ingredients
12 corn tortillas
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 (10 oz) can green enchilada sauce
1 cup sour cream
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup chopped green chiles
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Serves: 6 | Bake Time: 25 minutes
How to Make: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with about 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese. Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave until soft and flexible so they do not crack when rolled. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, roll each one tightly, and arrange them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. In another bowl, whisk together the green enchilada sauce, sour cream, chicken broth, chopped green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas, making sure they are well covered, then sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is completely melted and lightly golden. Let the enchiladas rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Ground Beef Enchiladas Recipe
Ingredients
12 corn tortillas
1 lb ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cups enchilada sauce (red)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
Serves: 6 | Bake Time: 25 minutes
How to Make: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. Place the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, breaking the beef into small crumbles, until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Drain away any excess grease, then season the mixture with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir in a few spoonfuls of the red enchilada sauce to keep the filling moist. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Warm the corn tortillas until pliable, divide the beef mixture and about 1 cup of cheddar cheese among them, then roll each tortilla tightly. Arrange the enchiladas seam-side down in the dish, pour the remaining red enchilada sauce evenly over the top, and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden in spots. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Spread a thin layer of green enchilada sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Warm the corn tortillas briefly until soft and flexible, then spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla and roll tightly. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared dish. Pour the remaining green enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas, making sure each one is coated, then sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for approximately 25 minutes, until the filling is thoroughly heated, the sauce is bubbling around the edges, and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Stir until the filling is evenly mixed. Spread a thin layer of red enchilada sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Warm the corn tortillas until flexible, spoon a generous portion of the black bean mixture into each tortilla, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down in the dish.

San Francisco brought the sunshine. We brought the margaritas. ☀️🍹

Grab a sunny spot on the patio, get a few tacos involved and suddenly whatever else you were supposed to do today feels a lot less important.

We fully support this change of plans. 😎🌮

Margaritas get a LOT of attention around here. The Paloma would like a word. 👀🍹

Bright, refreshing and dangerously good at making “we’ll just have one” sound like a reasonable opening statement.

Some tables order an appetizer. Smart tables order the whole situation. 😎

Queso + chunky guacamole + salsa, together in our Dip Combo and ready for a pile of chips.

Sharing is technically the idea. We’ll leave the rest up to you.

Commitment issues? Finally, a personality trait we can work with. 🍹🍹🍹

The Margarita Flight means you don’t have to choose just one frozen favorite.

Sometimes indecision is delicious. 🌴

Not to brag, but your lunch situation could be looking at this. 👀🌮🌊

Grab a seat on the patio, order a couple rounds, and take in one of the best lunch-with-a-view situations on Pier 39.

Stay for another margarita. The view isn’t going anywhere.

Why choose between queso, guacamole and salsa when the correct answer is obviously all three?

The Dip Combo brings the full trio to the table with plenty of house-made chips for dipping, scooping and quietly fighting over the last one. Technically serves two to three. Emotionally serves one.
