Delicious Chicken Enchiladas

...On the chopping block: The first ingredients of the sauce for some fabulous chicken enchiladas.  Add tender chicken breasts, cooked with celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.  Cooked till fork tender.  Then the sauce, the real star of the dish.




With my tiny mortar and pestle, I ground up some old corriander seeds, which were still very flavorful after many years.  Cooks have known for centuries that spices last a very long time.  The corriander was the perfect addition to the sauce, which included fresh green pepper, onion, celery, green chiles, cilantro, light sour cream and fresh chicken stock in a roux.  Layers of the freshest corn tortillas, shredded chicken, sauce, cheese, all baked to a bubbling goodness and served with homemade Sangria.
