Zubereitung von Chicken And Cheese Enchiladas

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 cup water.
Add 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped).
Seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped green chiles (canned), and 1 large egg.
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and no longer pink.
In an ungreased 13x9-inch glass baking dish, combine 1/2 cup salsa and 1/4 cup water. Spread evenly on the bottom of the dish.
Place approximately 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture down the center of each of 12 corn or flour tortillas (6-8 inch).
Top with approximately 1/4 cup of the cooked chicken.
Roll up the tortillas tightly and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining salsa over the enchiladas.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
