Description

Delicious cheese chicken enchiladas filled with shredded chicken, zesty taco seasoning, and creamy queso, baked to perfection.


Ingredients

  • 5 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 2 ½ cups shredded chicken
  • ½ packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)
  • 1 pound queso blanco Velveeta (cubed)


Instructions

  1. Combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green chilies in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the cubed Velveeta with the undrained diced tomatoes until smooth.
  3. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon about ½ to ¾ cup of the chicken mixture into each, rolling tightly.
  4. Place the filled tortillas side by side in a casserole dish.
  5. Pour the warm queso over the top of the enchiladas.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and heated through.

Notes

Allow the enchiladas to rest for a few minutes after baking for easier serving. Consider garnishing with chopped cilantro or green onions.
