Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Enchiladas
  • 5 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 2.5 cups shredded chicken
  • 0.5 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
Queso Sauce
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 pound Queso Blanco Velveeta, cubed

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green chilies. Mix well.
  3. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the cubed Velveeta with the undrained diced tomatoes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Lay tortillas flat and spoon 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture into each. Roll tightly like burritos.
  5. Place filled tortillas seam-side down in a casserole dish.
  6. Pour the warm queso sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top before baking. You can also add corn, black beans, or sautéed peppers to the filling.
