lCanned green chilies

[hercamore]

HI,

I'm going to use some canned chopped geen chilies in a recipe for some tortilla appetizers. How hot are they?

I've never used them before.

They are great! I usually have a few cans on hand. They are not spicy but add yummy flavor.

If you're looking for some more ideas...
I always use them to make quesedillas. Put a tortilla on the pan, sprinkle it with cheddar, throw on some green chiles and chicken (if you have some) and top with another tortilla. Once everything melts...it's so good! I also use them to make "white people" enchilladas. Haha, please don't get offended that I call them that...my mother is mexican and she calls them that because they are not like her traditional mexican kind that she makes. Mine are really creamy and have a filling made with sour cream, chopped chicken, green chilies, and cream of mushroom soup. So Good!

Hope your appetizer turns out great.

Ok, thanks for the extra ideas. Glad they not spicy, as I'm making these appetizers for kids, too.

My Ds is coming home form college tomorrow, and he will love those chicken tortillas, 'm sure. Just happen to have mushroom soup, chicken, sour cream on hand, too.

Your mom's enchiladas reminds me of the chicken enchilada casserole a friend used to make. Same ingredients as the filling only you tear up the tortillas (flour, not corn) into bite size pieces and mix everything up and put in the oven until it bubbles. Sprinkle with tabasco. Yummy! I eat green chiles right out of the can.
