Very easy to make. This is one of those recipes that you come up with when you haven't been to the grocery in weeks. I cook several pounds of chicken at a time and freeze it so I can make these types of recipes.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb pre-cooked chicken, diced (easy in microwave)
10 flour tortillas
2 cups sour cream
1 can mexicorn
1 cup salsa
1 bag shredded monterey jack cheese
1 bag shredded processed cheese

Steps:

Pre-heat oven 350.
Grease 9 x 13 baking pan.
Combine sour cream, mexicorn and salsa.
Arrange tortillas to cover bottom of pan (3 to 4 tortillas).
Use 1/2 of pre-cooked chicken to lay over bottom layer of tortillas and top chicken with 1/2 of sour cream mixture and then lightly sprinkle with both types of cheese.
Cover layer with tortillas (3 to 4).
Use the remaining 1/2 of the pre-cooked chicken to layer on top of the tortillas and then top chicken with remaining sour cream mixture and then lightly sprinkle with both types of cheese.
Top middle layer with tortillas (3- 4) and cover with remaining cheeses.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are traditional, but flour tortillas can also be used. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them so they don't crack.
Use a variety of fillings. Beef, chicken, and cheese are all classic fillings, but you can also use vegetables, beans, or fish. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
Don't overfill the tortillas. You want to be able to roll them up without them falling apart. A good rule of thumb is to fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of filling.
Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really brings the enchiladas together. Choose a sauce that you love and that complements the fillings you're using.
Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and hot. This will help the flavors meld together and create a delicious, satisfying dish.

Gringo enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
