Creamy and cheesy chicken enchiladas perfect for quick weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Shredded Chicken (use rotisserie chicken for convenience)
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning
  • 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or Monterey Jack, pepper jack)
  • 16 oz Cubed Velveeta
  • 1 can Chopped Green Chilies
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (undrained)
  • 8 Tortillas (corn, flour, or whole-wheat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, 1 cup of cheese, green chilies, Velveeta, and diced tomatoes in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
  3. Spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden.
