White Chicken or Turkey Enchiladas image

I first made these for my family while I was in my teens. They are so different and delicious, that I have made them now for three decades. It's a great way to use leftover chicken or, particularly, turkey.

Categories     Poultry

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cooked chicken breasts (or equivalent turkey)
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1 cup half & half light cream (or use cream)
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
salt and pepper
4 ounces butter
6 -12 corn tortillas
8 ounces gruyere cheese
cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Section meat and mix lightly with cream cheese.
  • Form into logs about 1 inch in diameter and a little shorter than the diameter of your corn tortillas.
  • Stir salt, pepper, vinegar and chili powder into cream. If everyone you're serving like heat, add cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Melt butter. Coat both sides of a tortilla generously, then put a chicken/cheese log in the middle of a tortilla and roll up. Lay enchilada in pan (seam side down). Repeat for all tortillas and logs.
  • Cover enchiladas with cream mixture and slices of Gruyere.
  • Bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Note that cooking time is only approximate.
  • Using evaporated skim milk in place of the cream does not work well. If doubled, add 1 cup milk to cream rather than using 2 cups of cream.

I've never made enchiladas before, but these were really easy to make and they turned out great. I will definitely be making them again.

The white sauce was a bit too runny for my taste, but otherwise these enchiladas were delicious.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

These enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great. I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and the white sauce was quick and easy to make.
