Help! Just Made the Chicken Enchilada Ring

[NMmommy]

and it looks kind of funny. I have about a cup of stuff left! I don't think I stuffed it well enough. Any tips on that? I will take a pic when it comes out of the oven. I am making it for a show on Saturday. This is my test run.

Okay I just realized I did not pack the scoop and I left the lime juice out. I am going crazy with two sick kids and I think the baby is getting sick.

Snugs, I understand that once you've made the ring a few times it gets easier. I can't make them as none of the cresent rolls in the US are kosher.

i fill in between the scoops with the etxra mixture I only use canned chicken too

When I am putting the filling around the ring, I use the large scoop and spread it out like a clock, so it will be even all around. Any little bit left, I just fill in evenly.

Hope that makes sense about the clock...one scoop at 12, then 6. Then 9 then 3. Then in between the filling piles at 6 and 9...in between the piles at 9 and 12 and so on and so on.

It's late and I am on cold medicine right now...hope I am making sense!!!

I always end up with extra filling... but then again, I don't measure exactly either. The filling is great on chips!Hope the kids get better soon. DH and I are both getting over colds.

Thanks everyone! Kelly you made sense! I will give that a try. I was using the medium scoop. It turned out alright. I did not tuck it in either and that is why it looked so odd.

I use the large scoop works great

 

[NMmommy]

I was using the medium. I will try the large one tomorrow.

BTW, I always use all of my filling...never had a problem with too much. It just makes it "fuller" looking and it has been cooked all the way through each time.

I tell people that's why I like rings...you can add/delete whatever. It's a great use of leftovers- just throw in what you have!

I have made this at several shows. It does get easier the more you do it. I think I can do this in my sleep now. I use the large scoop and it works great. I like it when it looks full. Everyone always oohs and ahhs about it. I love the trick with the tortilla in the center too.
