Ingredients
5 large flour tortillas
1 cup brown rice
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup cabbage
1.5 cups black olives
2 cups enchilada verde sauce

1/2 cup thawed frozen corn
about 8 strips of vegetarian chicken strips
2 green onions
1/2 cup cilantro
2 tsp ground cumin
sour cream
Instructions
This recipe is delicious and worth the extra effort. If you eat meat,
you can use real chicken strips. If you are vegan, you can omit the
sour cream.
The rice:
Drain about 1 cup of juice off of the
tomatoes. (I like to use tomatoes that also have chilies in them). Add about 1/2 cup of the olive juice and 1/2 cup of water. This is the
stock in which the rice will be cooked. Add this to the rice and bring
to a boil. Add 1 tsp of cumin, a few leaves of cilantro, and a few
slices of the green onion. Reduce to a simmer and cook until soft.
The green chili mixture:
Heat oil in a small skillet and add diced onions. Cook for about 1 minute
and then add the chicken and most of the diced green chili. (I like to
reserve some of it to top off the enchiladas). Cook until the chicken
had a nice crust and the chilies and onions are soft. Then, add the
corn and cumin and cook until heated.
Enchiladas:
Spread the
rice on the tortillas. Top with some of the chili mixture, 1/5 of the
cabbage, olives, cilantro, and green onions. Spread some sour cream on
the tortilla and roll closed. Place it in an oven safe baking dish.
Repeat this 5 times (or for however many enchiladas you are making).
Top with enchilada sauce, extra olives, green onions, and cilantro.
(You can also top it with cheese, if you like).
Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and salsa.
