Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

These enchiladas really make me rethink always ordering nachos any time we go to a Mexican restaurant. I know I have mentioned this on the blog before, but I always order the nachos at a Mexican restaurant, always. I look at the entire menu, but always go with the nachos. 

However, these enchiladas are so delicious, that is has me wondering if I have been missing out on some delicious Mexican food by always getting nachos. Maybe next time I am at a Mexican restaurant I will seriously consider getting something different.

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
• 1 cup sour cream
• 7 ounces diced green chilies
• 4 cups cheddar jack cheese
• 10 large flour tortillas
• 28 ounces enchilada sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Spray a 2-9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a skillet melt the butter. Add in the onions and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
3. In a large bowl combine the cooked onions, chicken, sour cream, green chilies and two cups of the shredded cheese.
4. Spread 1-2 spoonfuls of enchilada sauce onto the bottom of both baking dishes.
5. Spread a spoonful of enchilada sauce onto the bottom of a tortilla and then top with about 1/2 cup of the chicken filling. Roll up the tortilla and place into a prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, placing 5 in each baking dish.
6. Evenly pour the remaining enchilada sauce over both dishes of enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
7. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the enchiladas are hot, the sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted.
8. Top with additional sour cream if desired.

Enjoy!!!
