Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 5 Burrito Size Flour Tortillas
  • 2 ½ cups Shredded Chicken
  • ½ Packet Taco Seasoning (about 1.25 tablespoons)
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Chilies

Sauce

  • 10 ounces Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (undrained)
  • 1 pound Queso Blanco Velveeta, cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green chilies. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  2. Make the queso sauce: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the cubed Velveeta cheese along with the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble enchiladas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately ½ to ¾ cup of the chicken filling mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll them tightly like burritos to enclose the filling.
  4. Arrange in casserole dish: Place the filled tortillas side by side in a baking casserole dish, fitting them snugly to prevent unrolling.
  5. Add queso sauce: Pour the warm queso blanco sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas, ensuring ample coverage.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the queso sauce is bubbly and the dish is heated through.

Notes

  • Shredded chicken can be prepared ahead of time or use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your taste preference, especially if you prefer a milder dish.
  • For added texture, top the assembled dish with extra shredded cheese before baking.
  • Serve with toppings like chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or avocado slices for extra flavor.
  • Ensure queso sauce is warm before pouring over enchiladas to help it spread easily.
