For enchiladas:
2 cups each Monterey Jack & cheddar cheese, shredded
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons cilantro, chopped
12-14 corn tortillas

For 1 dish of chicken enchiladas: 4 chicken breast tenderloins, cumin, cayenne, black pepper, 1 garlic clove, 1 tablespoon olive oil

For sauce:
1 poblano
2-3 jalapenos (optional)

5 chipotles in adobo sauce
1 ½ tablespoons adobo sauce
Juice of 1 lime
¼ cup cilantro

Hi! I am April Gruszkowski, and I am showing you how to make Enchiladas. Now we are going to make our enchiladas sauce.

This is pretty much the same way you make any sauce and in fact that makes the same thing to take the parties. We just gonna turn about 6 or 7 little tomatoes, a Poblano Pepper, the stem taken out, seeds are in, a couple, if you like it spicy, you can leave them out entirely, you can add few of them, I am going to put in three and I am just going to turn this on and make a little it more food processor. We are going to do the same thing with the Onion, just slice it and the chop I like to go with the thick rings and then about a quarter of cup or so Cilantro, peel little more, a curve of garlic, cheese the one lime, this give off more juice make them last a little bit longer, but i rather get more juice, here we go and then a couple of chipped Poblano peppers, about 3 or 4. And then little than two table spoon of the sauce and that's smells good. That's now ground. Now we can add just a little bit of salt too, not too much and may be a little pinch of black pepper. Now we have an Enchiladas sauce. Next we are going to finish with some Enchiladas to bake them.
