How To Make chicken enchiladas

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat 2 qt glass casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.

Brown chicken until juices run clear; drain, cool & shred (or use a purchased rotisserie chicken). In same skillet, heat minced green onions over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, cumin, cream cheese & 2/3 C salsa. Mix well & cook over low heat until cream cheese is melted. Add 1 C shredded cheddar & cook until bubbly.
Step 3

Warm tortillas as in microwave 45 seconds on high power. Working with one tortilla at a time, brush both sides of tortilla with melted butter. Spread 1/2 C of the chicken mixture on one side of the tortilla. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp of Mexican blend shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla & place seam side down in prepared casserole dish. Repeat procedure until chicken mixture is gone. Spread remaining salsa & cheeses on top of tortillas.
