Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces burrito size flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 packet taco seasoning Adjust spice level as per preference.
  • 1 cup sour cream Low-fat options available.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Additional cheese can be added on top.
  • 1 can chopped green chilies
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)
  • 16 oz Queso Blanco Velveeta Key ingredient for creaminess.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to a warm setting.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the taco seasoning, mixing thoroughly.
  • Add sour cream, cheddar cheese, chopped green chilies, and diced tomatoes, stirring until well blended.

Assembly

  • Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
  • Pour Queso Blanco over the top of the enchiladas, ensuring they are well covered.
  • Optionally sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 30 minutes.
  • Let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Leftover filling can be made into a layered casserole.
