Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Mexican works really well with Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Goldeneye Gowan Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 80 dollars per bottle.

Goldeneye Gowan Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir

Made in the style preferred by our founder, Dan Duckhorn, this wine exudes richness, depth, dark fruit and structure. On the palate, it is deep and lush, with layers of wild blackberry and plum pie supported by a streak of acidity that adds definition to the flavors, while drawing the wine to a lingering finish with hints of lavender, pennyroyal, and Asian spices.

Instructions

  1. Layer the chicken in the slow cooker. Make sure it is completely defrosted before cooking. Sprinkle all of the spices over the chicken. Place the jalapenos, tomatillos, onion and garlic on top of the chicken, making sure to let them sit on top so you can easily pull out later. Pour water into the slow cooker. Put lid on turn to low and cook for 2 hours. Turn to high and cook for 2 more hours until chicken is cooked all the way through.
  2. Pull all the vegetables out of the slow cooker and place in blender. Puree the mixture till smooth. Remove chicken place on a cutting board and shred chicken, discarding skin and bones.
  3. Place the chicken back in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the chicken and mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Make enchiladas, place about cup of chicken mixture in tortilla. Sprinkle 1 TBSP of Cheddar Cheese on top of chicken. Roll tortilla and place it seam side down in a large glass baking dish. Repeat till all chicken mixture is gone, which makes about 18 enchiladas. You will need to use between 2-3 glass baking dishes, depending on the size.
  5. Make the sauce. Add avocado, yogurt, lime juice, pepper and garlic powder to blender. Puree until smooth. Use a spatula to evenly distribute sauce over all dishes of enchiladas. Divide and sprinkle the Mexican cheese over all the enchiladas.
  6. Cover in foil and bake until cheese is melting and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
