CREAMY CHEESY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
I adapted this from a recipe I saw on TV many years ago, which used egg and sour cream as the filling. This is a big family favourite, which is easily adapted by adjusting the heat of the enchilada sauce (I like to use Texas Red Enchilada Sauce #42094)

Steps:
- 1. # Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir together soup and enchilada sauce. Spread 1 cup soup mixture in ungreased 11x7-inch baking dish. # 2 In large bowl, mix 1 cup soup mixture with chicken and 1 cup of the cheese; reserve remaining soup mixture. On microwavable plate, stack tortillas and cover with paper towel; heat on High 1 minute to soften. Place 1/4 cup chicken mixture along middle of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam sides down in baking dish with sauce. # 3 Pour remaining soup mixture over enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Sprinkle green onions on top. Bake about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly around edges.
- 2. Offer chopped lettuce, avocado slices or chopped fresh cilantro for extra toppers.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
- Choose the Right Tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. Corn tortillas are more delicate and have a slightly earthy flavor, while flour tortillas are softer and more pliable.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warming the tortillas before you fill them will make them more pliable and less likely to crack. You can warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for a few seconds.
- Don't Overstuff the Tortillas: When you're filling the tortillas, don't overstuff them. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to roll up and they might break open. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
- Use a Baking Dish with High Sides: When you're baking the enchiladas, use a baking dish with high sides. This will help to prevent the sauce from boiling over and making a mess.
- Let the Enchiladas Rest: After you've baked the enchiladas, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the enchiladas to set.
Conclusion:
Cheesy chicken enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will love. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give cheesy chicken enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
