Description

Warm tortillas wrapped around creamy, cheesy chicken filling that elevates weeknight dinners into special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Shredded Chicken (rotisserie)
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning
  • 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 can Chopped Green Chilies
  • 16 oz Cubed Velveeta
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (undrained)
  • 8 pieces Tortillas

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, chopped green chilies, cubed Velveeta, and diced tomatoes. Mix until well combined.
  3. Warm the tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave until pliable.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the filling across each tortilla, then roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
  5. Pour any remaining filling over the enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead by assembling the enchiladas a day in advance; just bake them straight from the fridge. Customize by adding black beans or other veggies.
