Description

Cheesy and comforting quesadilla chicken enchiladas made with shredded chicken, creamy queso, and zesty taco seasoning, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can chopped green chilies
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 16 oz Queso Blanco Velveeta


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by spraying it with non-stick spray.
  2. Combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, half the sour cream, half the cheddar cheese, and half the green chilies in a mixing bowl.
  3. Spread a thin layer of the diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained) at the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Melt the Queso Blanco Velveeta in a saucepan over low heat until creamy. Stir in the remaining sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chopped green chilies.
  6. Pour the queso mixture over the rolled enchiladas and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and enchiladas are heated through.

Notes

For extra spice, add jalapeños to the chicken mixture or on top before baking. These enchiladas freeze well; assemble and freeze before baking.
