Recently we had dinner with another family that we rarely get to see. They prepared a lovely Mexican feast for us that included chicken enchiladas as the main course. They were delicious! When I asked for the recipe, I was told it was a family recipe and it’s not one they like to share. OK, no problem. So when I got home, first thing I did was get on the computer and start searching!! I didn’t have to look too long and I found this recipe on FoodFamilyFinds.com that you can dress up or down depending on how you are feeling. My family likes it pretty basic, so here is what we do!
Chicken Enchiladas
Author:
Ingredients
- 6-8 tortillas, 8-ish inch size
- 1 pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
- 4 cups shredded cheese (we like the prepackaged Mexican blends, you can use whatever you like)
- 3 TBS butter
- 3TBS all purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cup chicken broth (I generally use a 15oz. size can)
- 1 10oz. can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 4oz. can chopped green chilies (I leave these out, my kids won’t eat them)
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Fill the center of each tortilla with a handful of chicken a scoop of corn and some cheese. My family likes it heavy on the cheese.
- Roll each one up and place seam side down in a 9×13 baking dish. Set that aside for a bit.
- In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the flour and whisk together, forms a thick paste.
- Add the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chilies, salt and pepper.
- Continue whisking for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and warm.
- Pour the sauce over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Serve warm.
Notes
We usually serve this with chips and fresh salsa, Mexican rice and some fresh veggies. Since I omit the chilies, my hubby likes to sprinkle hot sauce or hot salsa on his for that extra kick. I have also made this with left over chicken breast and thighs verses going out and buying a rotisserie chicken. Works both ways!
