Ingredients:
Chicken
Chunky salsa
2 cans Herdez Salsa Verde
Corn tortillas
Fiesta mix shredded cheese
1. Roast a whole chicken. I prefer the crockpot method. Throw your favorite seasoning on top to make the chicken flavorful.
2. Shred chicken.
3. Saute chicken in skillet with chunky salsa. You want a healthy amount of salsa, about 1/2 cup per pound.
4. Take a heaping tablespoon of chicken and roll in a warmed corn tortilla.
5. Spread a thin layer of salsa verde in your pan. Arrange enchiladas on top. When pan is full, cover with more salsa verde. Cover whole pan with cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

SPICY ENCHILADAS WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE
This dish can be assembled up to 8 hours ahead of time; refrigerate, covered, until ready to bake (add a few minutes to the cooking time).
1/2 leftover thyme-roasted chicken, skin removed, meat shredded (see notes below)
6 scallions, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 jalapeno, quartered (remove ribs and seeds for less heat, if desired)
1 t. chili powder
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese (6 oz)
1. Preheat oven to 425. In a medium bowl, combine chicken and scallions. Season generously with salt and pepper; set aside.
2. In a blender, puree pumpkin, garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, 2 1/2 cups water, 2 t. salt, and 1/4 t. pepper until smooth. Pour 1 cup of sauce in bottom of an 8 in square pan.
3. Layer tortillas on work surface; mound chicken mixture on half of each tortilla, dividing evenly. Roll tortillas; place, seam side down, in baking dish.
4. Pour remaining sauce on top; sprinkle with cheese. Place dish on a baking sheet; bake until cheese is golden and sauce is bubbling, 25-30 minutes. Let cool 5 min before serving.
NOTES: You can cut way back on the amount of chicken by using black beans and mushrooms as a substitution...delicious! I will also leave out the jalapeno if I do not have one and just up the garlic a little. It is also yummy to use the water you boil the chicken in to thin out your sauce. The recipe calls for a thyme roasted chicken, but I boil a few breasts in a pot with a few dashes of thyme and that works fine as well!
