The month is coming to an end. The fridge and pantry are now running low. Will be doing groceries soon, but tonight I have to create a meal with what I can find in my kitchen.
A can of salsa verde, some corn tortillas and a couple of chicken breast are the components for a quick dish like Chicken Enchiladas.
I find it a necessity when i go grocery shopping to grab a couple cans and other dried shelf goods for moments like now. It always saves the day.
Lets get cooking.
Ingredients
3 boneless/skinless chicken breast
1 tsp cayenne pepper
salt & black pepper to taste
2 Sazon con achiote envelopes
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried chives
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
3 small onions diced
6 culantro leaves chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups of water
Large pot
Corn Tortillas
Reduced breakstone sour cream
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions
In a large pot over medium high heat add oil, onions and the chicken. Braise for about three minutes now add all the spices ( cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper & cayenne ) including the Sazon envelopes.
