PICANTE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
This is by far the best chicken enchilada recipe I've ever made. I use a little oil and heat my corn tortillas and then roll them up with the enchilada mixture and fill an entire baking dish and then put the cheese on top before baking. It makes more than 6, it feeds my husband and I for two to three meals.

PICANTE CHICKEN CHILI
A delicious low-fat chili with a kick! We make it every year for our Halloween block party. You can adjust any of the flavors to your liking and it always turns out fantastic. Top with cheese, sour cream, and cilantro. Great when made ahead to let the flavors meld. Freezes well too!

SUPER EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
I can't remember which magazine I found this recipe in (I was sitting in a waiting room and scribbled it down on scratch paper). I know that I've made some changes from the original recipe, (by making them "suiza" style and playing around with the ingredients). I have since lost my notes (it's been quite a few years). I make this by memory only, so tweak this as you see fit. I have used Cheddar cheese (my favorite), Mexican cheese blend or Monterey Jack to make this, so you choose your favorite. I hope you enjoy this recipe. ***You may like to try Recipe #513631 to make this dish***

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350* degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, stir together soup, sour cream, picante sauce (I use Pace Medium) and the chili powder.
- In another bowl, mix together only 1 cup of the sauce mixture with the shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- Warm tortillas in a damp paper towel for approx 10 seconds in the microwave.
- Lay tortillas out and divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, running the filling down the center of each, roll up and lay them in an 11x8 baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce mixture over the tops of enchiladas, and sprinkle with the other 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 - 35 minutes, remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped tomatoes and scallion over the top of dish (this is optional -- I leave both on the side of the plate on top of some shredded lettuce**). Serve with additional picante sauce and sour cream at the table. (**I like to line each plate with shredded lettuce for color and texture).
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To make the chicken filling, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so that they cook evenly.
- You can adjust the spiciness of the enchiladas by using more or less chili powder. If you want a milder enchilada, you can also use a milder chili powder, such as ancho chili powder.
- Be sure to use fresh tortillas for the enchiladas. Stale tortillas will break easily and won't hold the filling well.
- If you don't have a baking dish that is large enough to fit all of the enchiladas, you can bake them in batches.
- You can serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded lettuce.
Conclusion:
Picante Chicken Enchiladas are a flavorful and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender chicken, spicy chili sauce, and melted cheese makes these enchiladas irresistible. Whether you serve them for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these enchiladas are sure to be a hit.
