Enchiladas are one of the most popular Mexican dishes in America. This traditional version is probably unlike anything you've tried before and, the best part, is that it is tastier than many you have tried.
• Place chicken and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover and simmer until chicken is fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove and shred chicken, reserve 1 cup of the broth.
• In a blender puree the tomato with the Acapulco cooking paste and the chicken broth until smooth.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan, add the puree and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. Add salt to taste.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and add one tortilla, fry for 15 seconds on each side, drain and place on top of a paper towel. Repeat until all tortillas are done.
• Dip a tortilla in the sauce and transfer to a plate. Place a small amount of chicken on the tortilla and fold in half. Repeat. Cover the enchiladas with the remaining sauce, garnish with the sliced onion and sprinkle with the queso fresco. Provecho!
