Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Burrito Size Flour Tortillas Soft and pliable
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken Moist and tender
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning Adds bold flavors
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Creamy texture
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded, for topping
  • 1 can Chopped Green Chilies Adds mild heat
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies Undrained for moisture
  • 16 ounces Queso Blanco Creamy cheese sauce
  • 2 cups Spanish Rice For serving, filling side
  • 1 cup Guacamole For serving, creamy dip
  • 1 cup Salsa For serving, adds freshness

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Take one flour tortilla and place it on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spreading a small amount of queso blanco on the bottom.
  • Place the filled enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly next to each other.
  • Pour the remaining queso blanco over the top and spread it evenly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  • Prepare your serving side of Spanish rice as per package instructions.

Serving

  • Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Mix taco seasoning thoroughly for even flavor. Consider broiling the enchiladas for a crispy top if desired. Adjust cheese amount based on preference. Allow to cool slightly before serving for better presentation.
