How to Make Enchiladas (Informative Speech)
In a couple of hours it will be time for dinner. If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably stand in the middle of the kitchen or stare at the fridge aimlessly, thinking about what you can come up with tonight. When looking for a delicious, quick and easy dinner… I have a solution for you. Make Enchiladas! They only take about an hour and a half to make, and are something the whole family will enjoy. I’ll tell you how to make Easy Enchiladas and you decide if it makes you hungry or not.
Before cooking anything it is always best to wash your hands and any countertops or cutting boards that you will place food on. Some quick preparation that can be done before starting; is thawing out the chicken ahead of time to make cooking time shorter, shred cheese if needed but I like to use the pre shredded cheese, open the Enchilada sauce cans, and pre heat your oven to about 350.
All the supplies you will need are pretty inexpensive. My recipe makes about twenty enchiladas. The food items you will need are: 5 Boneless skinless chicken breasts, 2 cans of La Victoria enchilada sauce, one bag of any medium cheddar cheese (about 8 cups if shredding by hand) and twenty corn tortillas. Utensils needed are a big pot to boil the chicken in, a strainer, two bowls (one big and one small), can opener, big spoon, and a baking pan to fit the enchiladas in.
Once you have all the supplies and prep done, now you are ready to start making the enchilada filling. First you will want to fill your big pot about three quarters of the way full with water and bring it to a boil. When the water starts to boil you can add the chicken breast. Be careful because the pot and water are extremely hot and may splash back up at you. You will want to let the chicken boil for about fourty-five minutes to one hour. I check if the chicken is cooked all the way through by cutting a breast in half and making sure there is no pink in the meat. When the chicken is done, you will want to strain the water from

    Once everything is lined up, we get our tortillas we made earlier and fry them. We have to be careful not to over fry them, but a little crispy is preferred. We usually deep fry about six at a time, take them out and drain them on a napkin, to get the access oil off. We then put them on a plate and began to assemble them in the following order. To our tortillas, we add a pinch of beans, a pinch of chorizo and potato, chesse, sprinkle cabbage and drizzle the spicy tomato sauce over everything. Once we have completed this with all six of our enchiladas and added a piece of chicken,…
