THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADA RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TR…



The Absolute Best Chicken Enchilada Recipe You'll Ever Tr… image

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.

Total Time 45 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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:

  • 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.
