My husband and I love these. I sub fat-free cheese whenever I can, and use a high fiber, low fat tortilla.

Sassy Chicken Enchiladas ready to serve.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We loved these easy chicken enchiladas. The recipe is simple enough to follow without too many added ingredients. Adjust the taco seasoning to suit your taste buds. Once baked, the chicken enchiladas are moist and flavorful with ooey gooey cheese on top. The flavor of these enchiladas was all that we could hope for. Try with corn tortillas too.

1 can tomatoes and chiles (10 oz)
- taco seasoning mix, to taste

How To Make sassy chicken enchiladas

Step 1

Turn on a skillet to med-med high heat. Spray with non-stick spray.

Step 2

Brown chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Then add a minced clove of garlic, tomatoes and chiles (with juice), taco seasoning, and cilantro. Cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and juice reduces.
Step 3

Turn off the heat and shred the chicken. (I leave it in the pan, saves a dish, and keeps it warm.)
Step 4

Warm tortillas enough so they will roll. Place 1/8 chicken mixture, and 1 Tbsp shredded cheese on each tortilla and roll.
Step 5

Place seam side down in a baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray. Pour enchilada sauce over the enchiladas (add as much or little as you'd like). Top with remaining cheese.
Step 6

Bake at 350 for 30 min. Garnish if you like, with some fresh chopped green onion, and some black olives. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
