How To Make cheesy chicken enchiladas

Step 1

Combine cooked chicken, chopped onion and softened cream cheese in bowl.

Step 2

Heat enchilada sauce in skillet on low (I used the one I cooked the chicken in)
Step 3

Dip one tortilla at a time in enchilada sauce (so it doesn't crack or break), shake off excess sauce in skillet, place a heaping tablespoon of filling on one side of tortilla and roll up. Place seam side down in 13 x 9 baking dish.
Step 4

After all of the enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese. NOTE: My daughter prefers to put thin slices of Velveta cheese on top rather than the shredded cheese.
Step 5

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted.
