    ~!~ Ranchiladas ~!~

    Ranchiladas
    1 can ( 28 oz.) green enchilada sauce
    1 1/2 cups cooked and diced chicken breast
    1/2 cup chopped onion

    1 cup sour cream
    1 pkg. Hidden Valley Salad Dressing Mix
    1 can diced green chilies
    3 cups shredded pepper jack cheese, divided
    1/2 cup canola oil
    12 corn tortillas

    Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup enchilada sauce on bottom of dish, set aside. In a large bowl, stir together chicken, onions, sour cream, Ranch mix, chilies and 2 cups cheese. Set aside. Heat oil in skillet until a drop of water sizzles when dropped into it. Lightly fry tortillas, one at a time about 5 seconds per side, (leave pliable). Remove and drain on paper towels. Working in batches of 3 or 4, dip tortillas into enchilada sauce. Fill each dipped tortilla with 1 cup chicken mixture and roll. Place in baking dish. Repeat to make 12 enchiladas. Spoon any remaining sauce over top of enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

    This sounds sooo good! Can you use the tortillas without putting them in the oil? Can I use flour tortillas as well???

    I just found this on the Hidden Valley site, it’s in my to-try pile. I LOVE green enchilada sauce, so I am always looking for tempting recipes. I will be making this one, but I won’t dip in oil, no need for the additional fat. I can soften them up in the micro for 10 seconds if need be. I bet flour tortillas would be GREAT!!! We like both the flour and corn, so I think I will try with the corn 1st. Sandra Lee created this recipe for Hidden Valley!

     These sound great....and easy too!!  But I do have a question......I have never seen canned green enchilada sauce.  Do you know what brand carries it?  Thanks for your help.  Also, what's the difference in taste between the traditional red and the green?

    I have bought it in Old El Paso & La Victoria. I do get the mild version.Our local Wal Mart has a special area, up front by the bakery/produce with ethnic foods. I have bought  it there as well, but I am clueless as to that brand name. The sauce has green chilies & jalepenoes in it and I "THINK" they use green tomatoes vs red maybe???? I am not positive on this. We love the flavor. I use the red sauce as well. It's not real hot at all, (at least the mild isn't.)

    Oh yummy katemarie, these are right up my alley and I copied it to try. Thanks for sharing. That’s so Sandralee calling them Ranchiladas. She always has the cutest names for her food and cocktails (even if I don‘t make cocktails).

    I always use the LaVictoria sauces both red and green. The green is made with green chili’s and tomatillos and some other good stuff and is not hot in my opinion (remember I‘m Scottish LOL).

    Hatch Green Chili Sauce is some of the best to buy, it has small pieces of pork in it. That is the only brand I will buy. You can buy it with the encilida sauces

    this is awesome.  I used flour tortillas.  I used my Penzey's ranch dressing mix (we don't like it as a dressing, so this is a great way to use it)
