I don't know why but I just crave these sometimes! I'm not that big of a fan of mexican food (me and cheese don't get along), but these I could eat every week. They are really simple too.
I adopted these from my friend Amber's beef enchilada casserole that she used to make (it's delicious and I really need to make it again) . One night I decided I wanted chicken instead of beef, so I made the casserole that way and loved it. Then the next time, I was like what if I just took this mixture and rolled it in the tortillas like the way they come in the restaurants and ta-da my chicken enchiladas were born...ha ha!
Chicken Enchiladas
What you need:
- 9x13 baking dish (I use a pyrex one)
- Breast meat from rotisserie chicken shredded (I shred by hand)
- 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1 10 ounce can Hot Enchilada Sauce
- 1 10 ounce can Mild Enchilada Sauce
- Pkg of 10 flour tortillas
- Shredded cheese (however much you want really)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Combine the hot enchilada sauce with the cream of chicken soup in mixing bowl
- Pull/shred chicken and dump in same mixing bowl and stir
- Take tortilla and put a couple of spoon fulls of chicken mixture on it
- Roll tortilla and place seam side down in baking dish
- Repeat until you run out of room in the dish or out of chicken mixture (yields 8-10)
- Pour medium enchilada sauce over the tortillas (try to get all of them)
- Sprinkle however much cheese you want on top
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and how you like it
- Let cool a little bit so the sauce thickens
- If you want them even cheesier, you can put the cheese inside the tortillas
- You can use corn tortillas instead like Elizabeth did in the picture below. This will make about 15 smaller enchiladas
