All ingridients get them as many as you want to make just make sure you have enough chicken. It all depends how much taco wraps you want usually people have 3 a person.
All that needs to be done is heat up oil in pan and pass through the tortillas
After that you place chicken inside them and roll them up placing a toothpick so the tortilla dosent loose its form

Lasana enchiladas
This is made like a lasagna but has different type of layers
This is a great main dish course that can be varied to your liking and made many different ways
Will warn you this way that its done its really spicy and the more serrano chiles the spicier it is







Ingridients
  • tortillas of corn
  • 4 whole jalapenos and 1 jalapeno finely choppe
  • 6 serrano peppers
  • 6 tomatillos
  • 1 garlic
  • ground beef/ or very cut thin meat
  • cheddar chesse (any type that can melt well)
  • crushed canned tomatoes
  • can of creamy style corn
  • 1/4of an onion finely chooped
  • oil
Tools
  • blender
  • small pot
  • mixing spoons
  • tongs
  • baking dish 12 by 6
  • cutting board
  • knifes
Method
  • First step is to get a small pot and fill up half way with water, in the pot place 4 of the 5 jalapenos, the 6 serrano peppers, and 6 tomatillos
  • Let those set until they are cooked whole way through
  • While this is brewing you want to cook the ground beef normally with the onion, when its troughly cooked you place in the creamy corn, the tomatoes and choped jalapeno. Bring to a boil and then remove to the side.
  • After this you place oil in a frying pan enough to get little bubles
  • Then use your thongs and place the tortillas in and pass through for a few seconds on each side, (Do not leave them cryspy) Do as many as you need to place in layers
  • When the chillies and tomatillos are done boiling place chillies in blender with garlic, mix only for 4 seconds
  • After that you place the tomatillos with a little bit of water that you were boiling it with, this part is tricky you want to mix it enought that its as thin as sauce
  • At this point you have the chilli meat, and tortillas done. Next step is to layer
  • Get baking dish spray with pam and then put chilli sauce in bottom layer then place tortillas in colums to cover the baking dish, after this the meat is placed, then chili sauce again and then top of with cheese.
  • Repeat layering with tortillas, sauce meat and then cheese. may fit 3 layers or only two but the top layer only has chilli sauce and cheese on top.
