classic chicken enchiladas

I don’t have a creative twist on this classic meal. Like many families, these enchiladas are a staple for us because they’re just tasty. And they’re even better with uncooked tortillas, if you ask us.

{ CLASSIC CHICKEN ENCHILADAS }

3 chicken breasts

1 small onion, chopped

¼ c. butter

1 small can diced green chilies

8 oz. cream cheese

¾ c. milk

pkg. shredded cheese (mozzarella or mixture)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 bunch green onions, chopped

10 flour tortillas (uncooked are best)

……….

Boil chicken until cooked. Shred into small pieces. Saute onion in butter. Add green chiles. Melt cream cheese in mixture and add chicken. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream of chicken & milk and pour this into the bottom of a 9″ x 13″ pan. Spoon some mixture onto each tortilla, roll up and line in pan. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake for 20 min. at 350 degrees (lightly covered) and an additional 5-10 minutes (uncovered). Garnish with any or all of the above: salsa, lettuce, tomato, etc.

    Do you use corn or flour tortillas?

    I made these last week, and they seriously rocked my world! The recipe doesn’t state what to do with the green onions, so I mixed them into the cream cheese mixture, and it was perfect that way. It added nice color, too. I also added 1/2 tsp. of Mrs Dash Southwest Chipotle mix to the chicken mixture, and the soup mixture for a little extra punch. All I can say is “WOW!” I’m making these again soon!

    I made these this week, and they were a hit with my family. I even added a bit of Tastefully Simple’s Salsa mix seasoning into the chicken mixture. They were easy and yummy!

    do you cook the uncooked tortillas or just wrap the mixture up in the uncooked tortilla?

    Becky,
    try using the deep baker from Pampered Chef. It will cook 3 chicken breasts in the microwave in 15 min and will come out nice and juicy!

    I wanted to know, like another reader, if you cook the uncooked tortillas before you fill them, or put them in the oven uncooked?
