Generally an enchilada is a corn tortilla rolled around a delicious filling and covered with chilli pepper sauce. It can be filled with a variety of ingredients including meat, cheese, beans, potatoes, mix vegetables, seafood or combination. It is said that the Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Mayan times.

Traditionally, in their original form, enchilada was a Mexican street food that was simply corn tortillas dipped in chili sauce and eaten without fillings. It’s now days that they have taken many varieties with distinguished sauces, fillings, toppings and garnishes. Generally the fillings include meat, such as chicken, beef or pork (spicy beef enchiladas), seafood, cheese, potatoes, vegetables, and any combination of these.

Enchiladas are commonly topped or garnished with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, olives, chopped onions, chili peppers, or fresh cilantro. There are many variations in making the enchiladas. Gravy style enchiladas are the dominant variety of enchilada found throughout South and Central Texas. These have a gravy-like chili sauce over either cheese-filled or beef-filled corn tortillas and are topped with a layer of cheese. 

Stacked enchiladas, also called Enchiladas montadas is a New Mexico variation in which corn tortillas are fried flat until softened but not tough, then stacked with red or green sauce, chopped onion and shredded cheese between the layers and on top of the stack. Ground beef or chicken can be added to the filling, but meat is not traditional. The stack is often topped (montada) with a fried egg. Shredded lettuce and sliced black olives may be added as a garnish and served.

To prepare this super quick Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas, firstly fetch 1 rotisserie chicken or you can also use left-overs of chicken roast. Shred the chicken pieces and keep aside.
