Can I sub red enchilada sauce insteadOf green?
-
Cyd says:
You can substitute the Red Enchilada sauce for the green, but the taste will change because the ingredients are different in those sauces.Green enchilada sauce is generally a mixture of green tomatillos and green chilies along with other ingredients such as spices, onions, garlic, and vinegar.Red enchilada sauce is typically made from a variety of red chilies, vinegar and other spices, onions, and garlic. Some "quick" versions of red enchilada sauce may actually use red tomato sauce or paste as a base.Depending on your taste preferences, red or green enchilada sauce can work well on a variety of different enchilada dishes.

Melissa Dahmer says:
How many does this serve. 8 regular size soup bowls?
-
Cyd says:
It serves about 6-8. Just depends on how big your servings are. If it's all adults, you may not get as many servings.

How many calories per serving?

Dannette says:
Recipe sounds good but, you only mention the OLG of taco seasoning but, in the recipe itself it calls for Chilli powder, Cumin , Garlic powder and the pkg taco seasoning. So all those spices do go in the recipe?
-
Cyd says:
We added everything listed in this recipe! It's one of our favorites on a busy night!

Vicki says:
I made this tonight without the additional spices, only used the Taco Seasoning packet. My husband and I both loved it, maybe a little too much, not much leftover.I’d appreciate calorie count too.Thank you for your recipes and videos.

I’ve never had canned chicken before. I’m creating an extended pantry of canned goods and wanted to make a recipe almost entirely from pantry items. I don’t eat dairy, but my husband does, so he added cheese. We added fresh cilantro and avocado. I used red enchilada sauce instead of green, 2 cans of chicken instead of 1, and only 1 can of spicy black beans (instead of 2 cans beans). I also added extra broth. This was restaurant-quality good!! I was happily surprised. Hubby loved it, too.

Momma Cyd says:
We love hearing all of the substitutions and tweaks to make it to your own liking! Thanks for sharing.

CoriMSU says:
This is so good and so fast! Eveyone that has eaten it loves it. I've made it with canned chicken and also tried it with ground turkey sausage, both delicious! I used the whole 15 oz jar of Siete Green Enchilada Sauce (instead of the 10 the recipe called for) because I wouldn't use the remaining sauce. I also did not drain the tomatoes, and the Siete Taco Seasoning packet I used was a little more than the recipe called for but I used the whole thing. Again, so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
