I have no memory of where I found the original recipe, but over the years I've modified it to suit my family's preferences. It is so good and a fun twist on traditional enchiladas. It's easy too! You can easily lighten it by using low fat versions of many of the ingredients, and it is still delicious. A well-drained and rinsed...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 c cooked and shredded chicken
12 flour tortillas
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
8 oz sour cream
1 - 4 oz. can(s) diced green chiles, undrained
2 c shredded monterrey jack cheese
1/2 c diced onions
1-2 clove minced garlic or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
chicken stock/broth as needed to thin sauce
chopped fresh cilantro to taste
1 can(s) drained and rinsed black beans, optional
salt, pepper to taste; crushed red peppers to taste, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" x 13" non-stick baking dish with your favorite cooking spray.
  • 2. In a large bowl combine the chicken, the soups, sour cream, chiles, onion and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. (I add 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes too.) Fold in 1 cup of the cheese. Stir in enough broth to loosen the sauce, but be careful to avoid making it too soupy. The tortillas will absorb a lot of liquid though. Add the beans if desired.
  • 3. At this point you can either roll the enchiladas traditionally with about 1/4 cup sauce in each, or place a layer of 6 tortillas in the dish. Top with half of the sauce, then another layer of 6 tortillas, then the remaining sauce. If you choose to roll them, pour all of the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with foil.
  • 4. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Do not replace the foil. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts. Avoid over-baking as the tortillas can get tough. These are even better the next day!

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them.

These enchiladas were a breeze to make and they were so flavorful! I used a homemade enchilada sauce and it was the perfect complement to the chicken and cheese. I will definitely be making these again.

These enchiladas were easy to make and tasted amazing! I used a store-bought enchilada sauce and it turned out great. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these enchiladas last night and they were delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and they turned out great. The sauce was flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.
