ISO Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

[rnmore1]

I was over at a friends house a while back and they made a chicken enchiladas dish. It was more like a casserole than anything, with layers of tortillas, cheese, chicken, and I think there was a can of cream of chicken soup used. Is anyone else familiar with this recipe?? I've been trying to hunt it down, but can't seem to find it.
Thanks a million!

I had that recipe and must have thrown it out when I started making them this way. Always a huge hit. Betsy.

1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup green enchilada sauce
1 tsp. cumin
4 oz. diced mild green chiles
4 oz. sliced olives
4 or 5 corn tortillas
Jack and/or cheddar cheese
Combine and heat first 6 ingredients.
Layer tortillas, chicken mixture and cheese three times.

For a 9x13 pan, double this recipe.

Here's my recipe with white sauce...kinda lengthy but to die for!


White Chicken Enchiladas

10-12 flour tortillas...the amount you need depends on how full you fill them
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 T + 1 C. milk, divided
Salsa..I blend mine cuz I don't like the chunks
2 small cans chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
Shredded cheese, as much as your heart desires

Filling:
In a large bowl combine cream cheese, 1 T milk and salsa till smooth. Add chicken. Add as much salsa as you want, to taste. Add some shredded cheese.

In another bowl combine soup, sour cream, salsa to taste, and 1 C. milk.

Stir 2 T soup mixture into chicken mixture.

Heat tortillas to soften..according to pkg directions.

Place 1/3 C. chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up.

Place seam side down in a 9 x 13 pan that has been coated with non-stick cooking spray. Top with remaining soup mixture. Cover and bake at 350* for 30 minutes or until heated through. Uncover; sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Here's my TNT version....

6 cups cooked chicken
Corn tortillas (not flour; the taste is very different)
6 oz chopped green chilis (1 can)
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 oz cream cheese
1 can sliced black olives
2 t chili powder
2 t cumin
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
2 cans enchilada sauce (red or green or mixed)
1/2 cup salsa

Optional: Sliced japalenos

Wrap about 10 tortillas in foil and warm in 200 degree oven.

Saute onion & garlic in olive oil until transparent.
Add spices, olives, chilies and cream cheese (japalenos if desired).
Heat on low heat until cheese is melted.
Add chicken and salsa, stir till warmed.

Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce on bottom of large casserole dish.
Fill tortillas with mixture and roll up. The tortilla may split or start to
fall apart... use it anyway!
Place filled tortillas seam side down in casserole dish.
Cover with shredded cheese, olives, salsa and japalenos if desired.
Bake, covered, at 350 degrees until hot, about 20 minutes.

This recipe is very forgiving if you like to customize. I have made it
with red sauces and with green. You can add japalenos, hot sauce,
cayenne pepper or other tongue scorchers if you like it hotter.
Cheese selection is open too... colby, mexican mixtures.. all are good.

Here is my TNT one, giving to me by a friend. Oh so yummy.

• 1.5 lb of chicken, bake, then chop or throw in food processor and shred. After chopped, I add taco seasoning.
• Refried beans
• Cheese – mexican blend, about 3 cups
• Can of enchilada sauce
• 1 package of tortillas – use the burrito ones, they are bigger
• Chopped jalapenos (I used jarred because they aren’t as hot as fresh)

• Preheat oven to 375
• Take a tortilla, spread some refried beans in shell, fill with chicken and cheese then roll. Place in baking dish ( I spray the baking dish with cooking spray so they don’t stick). Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
• Pour enchilada sauce over all the enchiladas
• Cover with cheese and chopped jalapenos
• Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly (about 15-20 minutes)
