Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 slices bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
5 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ green chile enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
1 tablespoon ranch dressing & seasoning mix
12 flour or corn tortillas (6 inch)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ranch dressing & seasoning mix
2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 cup sour cream
Cilantro, onions, tomatoes, avocado, olives, shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • In deep 10-inch skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towel-lined plate; discard drippings.
  • In large bowl, stir together half of the bacon, the chicken, enchilada sauce, 1 cup of the cheese, and 1 tablespoon ranch dressing & seasoning mix.
  • In same skillet, heat vegetable oil until hot. Cook onion and a pinch of salt in oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chiles; cook until any liquid is mostly evaporated. Quickly stir in flour, making sure of no dry lumps. Cook 1 minute; add 2 tablespoons ranch dressing & seasoning mix.
  • Slowly beat in chicken broth with whisk. Simmer about 8 minutes or until slightly thickened. Beat in sour cream; simmer 1 to 2 minutes. Spread some of the sauce in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, just to coat bottom.
  • Fill tortillas with chicken mixture, rolling up to make enchiladas. Arrange enchiladas in baking dish in two rows of six; top with rest of sauce, remaining cheese and bacon.
  • Bake about 30 minutes or until edges of enchiladas begin to brown and sauce is bubbling. Let stand 10 minutes before serving with whatever toppings you like.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup chopped yellow onion
½ leftover rotisserie chicken, chopped
¼ cup crumbled cooked bacon
2 tablespoons roasted garlic
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 tablespoons sour cream
15 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 cup mild enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a 9x12-inch brownie pan with cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, bacon, and roasted garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in green onions.
  • Mix ranch dressing and sour cream together in a small bowl. Remove chicken mixture from heat and stir just enough ranch mixture into the skillet to barely coat chicken.
  • Hold 1 tortilla and spoon 2 tablespoons chicken mixture across the middle. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend over chicken and roll tortilla up. Place filled tortilla, seam-side down, against the short end of the pan so it does not unroll. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling until pan is jammed full of enchiladas.
  • Pour enchilada sauce on top of filled tortillas to cover without drowning them. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend generously on top of everything.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly on top, about 15 minutes.

Provided by Smith's Wife

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup butter
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix

2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chiles, and ranch dressing in a bowl; spread a thin layer of the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce into each tortilla; divide the chicken among the tortillas and sprinkle with 3/4 of the cheese. Roll the tortillas into cylinders and place seam-side-down into the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and cook a few more minutes until the cheese melts.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Diced chicken, cooked and shredded; cooked bacon, crumbled; shredded cheese, grated; taco seasoning, prepared; ranch dressing and sour cream, mixed; enchilada sauce, heated.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the chicken: This will help to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken with taco seasoning: This will give the chicken a delicious flavor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will give the enchiladas a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll and will fall apart.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and Pico de Gallo.
