Sometimes I feel a little guilty. Because I work from home, I can have nachos for dinner every night if I want, while I send my husband off to work with something a little more sensible and microwaveable. (Note: This doesn’t happen.) We save our nacho-fests for nights when we’re together (preferably also in the company of some good beers and a good baseball game); for regular weeknight meals, Dan gets his Tex-Mex fix with these chicken enchiladas.

Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can Hatch red enchilada sauce (or your favorite brand)
  • 1 8-count package taco-size soft tortillas
  • 1 pound cooked shredded chicken (from a rotisserie chicken, or 2 to 3 cooked chicken breasts; or from my favorite pressure-cooker chicken)
  • 1 small to medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
  • 2 1/2 cups (12 ounces) shredded cheese — Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, and/or cheddar are all equally lovely
  • Sour cream, to serve (optional)

Instructions
