Chicken Enchiladas with Homemade Sauce


Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup chili powder
2 cups chicken stock
6 ounces tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can black olives
1 cup shredded cheese
chicken

Enchilada Sauce

In a medium saucepan heat oil and add flour. Whisk for 1 minute. Add chili powder and cook for 30 seconds. Add stock, tomato paste, oregano, and cumin. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and add olives (chopped). Cook for 15 minutes. The sauce will thicken and smooth out.

Chicken Filling

As the sauce is cooking, heat shredded chicken. (I boiled a whole chicken and used ¼ of it to make four enchiladas). Add shredded cheese (1 cup)  and ¼ - ½ cup of sauce. Mix together and remove from heat.

Dip tortilla in sauce, add chicken filling and roll up the tortilla. Once finished with your desired
amount of enchiladas, add sauce over the top of the enchiladas and shred some cheese for the
topping.

Place in 350 degree oven and bake for 20-30 min, or until heated through.
