Hearty Chicken Enchiladas image

This recipe came about as a result of my being unable to find a recipe for chicken enchiladas that had EVERYTHING in it that we like. So I created my own. The chicken mixture is nice and creamy and the "spiciness" can be adjusted to individual tastes.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1\2 - 3 c chopped cooked chicken (i use a rotisserie chicken)
1 can(s) red enchilada sauce
1 can(s) black beans, undrained
1 jar(s) mild salsa
1 pkg old el paso taco seasoning
8 12" corn tortillas
2 c shredded colby-jack cheese
8 oz block cream cheese
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Put the 6 oz block of cream cheese in a 12-inch skillet. Add the black beans, undrained, taco seasoning, 1/2 of salsa and 1/2 of the enchilada sauce. Heat using medium heat until the cream cheese is thoroughly mixed and is completely "melted".
  • 2. Add the chopped cooked chicken. Cook for an additional 10 minutes so that the chicken mixture is hot and well mixed.
  • 3. One at a time take a 12" tortilla and spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the tortilla, along the edge. Then carefully roll the tortilla up and place the rolled tortilla, seam side down, into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
  • 4. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce and salsa in a small bowl. Carefully spoon this mixture over the top of all of the enchiladas.
  • 5. Sprinkle the cheese of the top of the enchiladas. Put in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. A dollup of sour cream can be put on top of each serving if desired.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning to the chicken next time.

These enchiladas were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less cheese.

These enchiladas were just okay. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of cheese. The cheddar cheese was a bit too sharp for my taste.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less chili powder next time.
