Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven (ceramic or enamel lined), over medium heat, sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened (5-9 minutes). If the veggies start to stick add a few tablespoons of water and water sauté until soft.
Add all the remaining ingredients (except the tortillas and toppings).
Stir well and then bring to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, slice 8 or 9 corn tortillas into half, then cut each half into one inch width strips. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and toast in the oven for approx. 5 minutes
After 5 minutes, check the oven to see if the tortilla strips are lightly browned and crunchy. If not, leave in for another minute or so.
Test the seasonings of the enchilada skillet; add more salt and seasonings to taste (if needed).
Once the skillet enchilada flavors marry (after 10 minutes), add all the toasted tortilla chips and mix well to coat all the tortilla chips, cook the mixture for approx. 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately.
Top with your favorite toppings.

Notes

*Hot vs Mild: This recipe does not have a lot of heat to it. It is spicy and flavorful. If you are trying to avoid a “hot” dish, then note the following to ensure a mild recipe. Cans of green chilies come in hot and mild. Store purchased enchilada sauce comes in hot and mild. Chili powder also comes in varying degrees of heat as well. We used our own enchilada sauce, a can of mild green chilies and Penzeys regular chili powder.

*Amount of Tortillas: If you like more corn tortilla to enchilada mixture ratio, then use 9 tortillas, if you like less, use 8 tortillas.

*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
