How to cook deliciously - Enchiladas - New Mexico Style

1. Stage

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, and cook until browned. Season with cumin and chili powder. Pour in the enchilada sauce, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

In a separate skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas. Don't fry them, just warm them until they are flexible.

To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla in the enchilada sauce, and place it on a serving plate. Spoon some of the meat and sauce on, then add shredded lettuce, cheese, onion and sour cream.
