kathy's easy cheesy chicken enchiladas
Mom came home from my sister Kathy's house in Texas with this recipe around 1990. It became an immediate hit with the family. NOTE: The prep time listed here assumes you already have cooked chicken. You do, right? I'm posting the original recipe here, but you can "play" with these basic ingredients & make them your own. In fact, as always, I highly encourage playing with your food! =^..^=

How To Make kathy's easy cheesy chicken enchiladas
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly mist a 13 x 9" baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Step 2Divide the sour cream evenly into 2 bowls. In the larger one, add the can of condensed cream of chicken soup. Then place a colander over the bowl & drain the juice from the Rotel tomatoes & chilies right into the bowl...
-
Step 3...until you have this. Mix it up & set it aside for now.
-
Step 4In the other bowl with sour cream, add the drained Rotel tomatoes & chilies. Mix it up & set it aside for now.
-
Step 5Lay out the flour tortillas (Yes, I know I have large & small ones. It's all good!) and divide the shredded chicken among them. See TIP below in Step 6.
-
Step 6TIP: It's easy to even up all the ingredients if all 10 tortillas are laying out.
-
Step 7Top the chicken on the tortillas with the sour cream/Rotel tomatoes & chilies mixture.
-
Step 8Roll up each enchilada & place in the prepared baking dish. I just wrap them up top & bottom, then right & left, then place them with the edges hidden in the dish.
-
Step 9Pour the sour cream, condensed soup, and Rotel juice mixture over the folded enchiladas...
-
Step 10...and smooth evenly.
-
Step 11Cover with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through...
-
Step 12...and the cheese is melted & bubbly. Like this!
-
Step 13Serve with picante sauce and whatever other toppings you like. Buen provecho! =^..^=
