Green Enchiladas with Chicken and Kale
My family loves tacos. Like LOOOOVES tacos. Sophia seriously pounded a burrito-sized soft taco and a hard shell taco just last night. And my husband inhaled his before I had even put the finishing touches on my taco salad. But I don't really share their love of Tacos, but we have them every week. Except for last week I wanted to try something new, so I made enchiladas instead (I almost had a revolt on my hands.) Until everyone tasted them and they got the stamp of approval. They were pretty darn good, if you ask me. I ended up overhauling a recipe from the October 2013 Rachel Ray Magazine. I changed pretty much everything from the tortillas to the filling to the sauce. And in my opinion I changed them for the better. Here's my version: Green Enchiladas with Chicken and Kale
1lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 can pinto beans drained
1/2 can corn
1 cup cooked white rice
2-3 cups kale, washed and chopped
8oz Stonyfield Farm Plain Greek Yogurt
1 cup monterey jack cheese (or more if you like it cheesier)
1/2 cup feta cheese
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cup salsa verde
1/2 cup Stonyfield Farm Whole Milk
6-8 Large Flour or corn tortillas
1. Place chicken breast in crockpot on high for 3-4 hours until done. (I did not add any liquid)
2. Preheat oven to 350.
3. When chicken is cooked shred into a large bowl. Then add: beans, corn, white rice, kale, greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of monterey jack cheese, feta cheese, cumin and salt/pepper. Mix thoroughly.
4. Mix salsa verde and whole milk together. Set aside.
5. Place tortilla in a 9x11 baking pan, fill with mixture. Roll tightly and place seam side down, repeat until you have used all the filling mixture and filled the baking dish.
3. Pour salsa verde/milk mixture over the top. Sprinkle with remaining monterey jack cheese and bake for 20min.
Enjoy!

I like that it is organic. I like that it is made locally in New Hampshire and I like that they support family farms. That's why I choose their products.
