Chicken Enchilladas

Today's recipe is from Susie, who is a  Mom of 7 children. I found her blog and LOVE reading all about the antics of her young children and also about her goal to get back in shape. She is truly an inspiration! Go ahead..read her blog..later..

I did make some changes. Saturday I put several boneless chicken breasts in the crockpot with Rotisserie seasoning and Italian Salad dressing and cooked them. Jonathan likes to use this chicken for chicken, bacon, cheese and ranch wraps for his school lunches and I have pre-cooked chicken to use in recipes like this one. Susie uses the Rotisserie chicken you can get in the deli...I hate de- boning chicken so this works for me. I didn't have enough cheese (I have to save some for Taco's on Tues) so I used some Salsa con Queso I had on hand. (Salsa with cheese)

 

So, here are my ingredients, corn (drained), 3 pre-cooked chicken breasts diced or shredded, 1 can cream of chicken soup, a half a soup can of water, a half a jar of Salsa with Cheese and a couple cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and a pack of flour tortillas and a 13x9 baking dish.

 

Mix the soup, water,

and 1 cup of shredded cheese in a bowl.

 Scoop out about 1/3 of the mix and set it aside

then add the 1/2 jar of Salsa with cheese, the corn and shredded chicken in with the 2/3rds of the mix you have left. (Mine was a little soupy so I will probably leave out the water next time.)

I took about 1 cup of mix and put it on my flour tortilla and wrapped it up placing it in the sprayed baking dish seam side down. Like I said..my mix was really soupy...I lined 6 of them up and then poured the mixture that I had set aside over the top of the wrapped tortillas..then put the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top. I sprayed a piece of foil wrap with cooking spray and covered the dish. This baked in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes. I then uncovered them and put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

 

 

I thought these were very good. It is definitely something I will make again. It is very cheesy. Susie added Cumin and Cilantro which I didn't have. I think this recipe is very versatile. You can add whatever you want. You could add rice or broccoli instead of corn some sour cream or whatever you think would be good. I like to keep it simple and use what I have on hand. If you like spicy you will need to add some spicier salsa and the Cumin.
