Easy Chicken Enchiladas

I guess that pretty much all of the recipes I share here could have "easy" or "simple" in the title, but I'm just in that stage of life where easy and simple makes it easier to get done. I've had fun updating some of the older blog recipes with new photos and updated notes...so I thought I'd share one for Easy Chicken Enchiladas today.

My friend Kim submitted it to our MOPS cookbook, and it is one I love to share when we have family over! I like that I can limit the cheese on one side for picky picky T, and load it up on the other side for us regular folks. {wink}

Easy Chicken Enchiladas

Here's what you'll need to get started:

Ingredients:

• 1 can cream of chicken soup (Use 2 cans for thicker enchiladas)
• 1/2 c. sour cream (I used Fat Free)
• 1 T. butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped (I always forget the onions, so I used minced onions from the pantry)
• 1 t. chili powder
• 2 c. chicken, cooked and chopped
• 1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, drained
• 1 can diced tomatoes, Mexican style (this is my addition)
• 8 flour tortillas
• 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

1. In a small bowl, mix the soup and sour cream; set aside.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add onion and chili powder sauce and sauté until tender.
3. Stir in chicken, chili peppers, half of the tomatoes, and 2 T. of soup mixture and stir until heated through (I added more soup mixture to thicken it up a bit)
4. Spread 1/2 c. of the soup mixture on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

5. Spoon 1/4 cup of chicken mixture on each tortilla.
6. Roll tortillas and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
7. Cover with remaining soup mixture and tomatoes, and sprinkle with cheese.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.

Even T, who has the refined palate of a two year old, asked for seconds. We served them with Mexican rice and took order for refried beans, since not everyone was a fan.

The verdict on our meal? Excellente!
