THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY...

I came across this recipe about three years ago on TOH's website. It originally called for 10 flour tortillas (6 inches), but I found my alteration to the recipe to be much better. I have also substituted on occasion pintos for black beans, and used Pace Picante sauce instead of the salsa. This recipe has become a staple at my house.

The Absolute Best Chicken Enchilada Recipe You'll Ever Try... image

Steps:

  • Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into a greased 13" x 9" baking dish. In a large saucepan, cook and stir the cream cheese and salsa over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until blended. Stir in the chicken, beans, and chilies.
  • Place about 6 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place the enchiladas seam side down over sauce. Top with remaining enchilada sauce; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Cover and bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until cheese has melted and the enchilidas are heated through. Serve with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and olives if desired.

1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce, divided
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 1/2 cups salsa
2 cups shredded chicken
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
8 extra 10-inch flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, sour cream, and black olives

Steps:

  • Mix chicken, salsa, beans, and 1 Celsius cheese in a bowl.
  • Pour 1/2 the cream into a 9X13 dish and dip each tortilla in, both sides, till fully coated.
  • Next put chicken filling and cheese in the tortilla and roll up.
  • Place rolled up tortillas into the 9X13 dish and dump extra filling and cheese on top.
  • Pour the rest of the cream on top of the tortillas, making sure not to go more than 3/4 high in the dish (otherwise it will spill during cooking!).
  • Cook at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
  • Serve with limes, rice, avocado, cilantro.

4 -6 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
8 -10 tortillas, burrito size

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with the butter and set aside.
  • Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add 2 1/2 cups of the grated cheese, the sour cream, red onions, and some salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Place the tortillas on your work surface. Spoon about 1 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla and roll them up. Place the rolls, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish (it will be a tight fit). Scatter the salsa over the tortillas. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle the enchiladas with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Return the baking dish to the oven until the cheese is melted and edges of tortilla are just beginning to get crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve hot.

1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or shredded cooked chicken 2 pounds cooked chicken breasts
12 ounces grated cheddar cheese (about 3 cups)
1 -1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 8-inch flour tortillas
2 cups store bought salsa

ANGELA'S AWESOME ENCHILADAS

The secret is in the seasonings! I whipped these up on my own using stuff I had on hand. Shredding the chicken is the most time-consuming step, but it's worth it in the end. Give these babies a try! Serve with sour cream and a side of Spanish rice.

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken by placing two forks back to back and pulling meat apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. Meanwhile, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, half of the bunch of chopped green onion, and water. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup of the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining soup mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken filling before folding the tortillas, reserving half of the shredded cheese for topping the enchiladas. Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the reserved chopped green onions and the sliced olives on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
