ADDICTIVE GREEN ENCHILADAS

The cream cheese is the star in these enchiladas... I've never met a person who didn't enjoy these and they are so simple to put together. You can cook your chicken breasts for these anyway you want... I recommend putting a chili powder/garlic rub on them and baking them. You can also boil them in water and garlic salt, but the baking produces tender, flavorful chicken! Toss in some red pepper flakes to the chicken/cheese mixture for some heat!! Can't beat it! Recently I didn't have a can of the green sauce on hand, and had a crisper full of tomatillos! I made Recipe #51630 and WOW it was super. It takes of course a little more work and effort but it was really good. If you like tomatillos, give it a try when you have some extra time on hand.

Tips:

Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before filling and rolling them.
Don't overfill the tortillas. You want to be able to roll them up tightly without them breaking. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes enchiladas special. Be sure to use a sauce that has a lot of flavor and that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
Top the enchiladas with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for enchiladas. It melts and gets gooey in the oven, adding a delicious flavor and texture to the dish.
Bake the enchiladas until they're hot and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes. You can also cook them in a skillet if you prefer.
Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion. With a little planning, you can make enchiladas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
