Instructions
Red Enchilada Sauce
- Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce except for the heavy whipping cream, and blend until smooth.
- Strain out any seeds and add to a skillet, bringing to a slight boil.

- After about 5 minutes, add the cream cheese, and stir in with the chicken until well incorporated.
- Season with salt and pepper and let cook for an additional five minutes.
To Make the Enchiladas
- Lightly fry the corn tortillas in oil and pay dry.
- Dip each tortilla in the red enchilada sauce, covering both sides completely.
- Fill each tortilla with some of the chicken filling, and some cheese if desired.
- At this point you can add them to a baking dish, top with mozzarella cheese and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
- If you do not want to bake them, just put them on a plate, top with lettuce, cheese, and radish and serve immediately.
