Ingredients not shown are: Oregano powder, Salt, Garlic powder and Garlic salt.

Start here if you want to learn how to make the sauce IF NOT SKIP these next steps and substitute with the can sauce

On medium heat pour 2 cups of water into sauce pan

Take 1 chile Pasilla from the pack to de-seed

Open the Pasilla pod and remove seeds and stem

Take 3 chili pods from the pack

Remove seeds from the pod and remove stem (if you want an extra kick leave some seeds in)

Add all 4 chilies into the pot

Add 2 Roma tomatoes

Add 2 garlic cloves

Boil the ingredients until the tomatoes have soften and skin starts to peel off

Pour everything into the blender (if you want thicker sauce don't add all of the water)

Blend

Blend until smooth

That will conclude the sauce.

Shred the boiled chicken breast (you can also use dark chicken meat)

Set it aside

3 Roma tomatoes washed and ready to slice

Sliced Roma's

Slice one small onion (I had a large one and used half)

In medium heat Place about 2-3 tablespoons of corn oil in pan

Add the tomatoes and onions

Sauté until they become soft

Add the chicken

Mix them in together

Add salt (about a pinch)

Add garlic salt (about tablespoon)

Add oregano ( half a teaspoon)

Mix it together and heat for about 7 mins

On medium heat pour sauce into pan

OR add your canned sauce

Add to pan ONLY IF you didn't make the sauce *SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU MADE THE SAUCE*

CONTINUE... These steps are for the homemade sauce and canned sauce

Add a pinch or 2 of salt

About a tablespoon of garlic powder

Gently stir everything together

Meanwhile pre heat the oven to 300deg

Bring to a simmer

Place all these items close together as this can get messy (when your ready to roll the enchiladas make sure the sauce is still hot it will soften the tortilla and will make it easy to roll)

Dip a flour tortilla into the sauce

Make sure to get all of it

Take it out immediately after its been fully submerged

Place it in the baking pan

Make sure the tortilla is open

Place the chicken in the tortilla

Roll it and place at one end of the dish
