Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

We’ve become good friends with two other couples here at school, and the wives and I switch off who makes dinner for everyone. It’s a pretty sweet deal! Emily made these enchiladas and I asked her for the recipe, and she even said I could share it with all of you! Love that!

I also love recipes with lots of leeway! Once you can make to your taste and desired spiciness.

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

The Mr. had to work late the other night and my sister was over and I asked her if she wanted enchiladas for dinner…luckily she said yes. Well better then that, she said, “Oh I love mexican food.”

Let’s face it, who doesn’t?
(ok a few people I’m sure, but I know I do)

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
Recipe inspired from tasteofhome.com
Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 5 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 20 flour tortillas (6 inches), room temperature
  • 2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped Black Olives as garnish
Directions
    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, water, onion powder and cumin until smooth
    • Stir in chicken
    • Place 1/4 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla
    • Roll up and place (seam side down) in a baking dish
    • In a separate bowl, combine the soup, sour cream and milk
    • Pour over enchiladas
    • Bake uncovered at 350 for 35 minutes, or until heated through.
    • Sprinkle with cheese the last 5 minutes of cooking

I love cheese
I tried the cream sauce that goes inside the enchilada and thought the cumin was really strong. I didn’t change anything because I wanted to see how it went with the enchilada sauce…well I’m glad I didn’t change it because the two sauces went really well together. So if you do try the cream sauce first don’t be scared, it works well!


If you’re feeling really crazy you can always add chopped green chilies to the soup mixture, and top with tomatoes.

TIP: I used both the Target brand tortillas and Don Julio tortillas and Don Julio was WAY better! They are thinner, and better tasting. Who knew the thickness of a tortilla was so important?

PS I have no idea why so words are highlighted and some aren’t! It’s bugging me…it wont go away?
