Chicken Enchiladas
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Serves: 12 enchiladas
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe olives
- 4 green chilies
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 ounces sour cream
- 1 package (12 count) flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken or turkey, shredded
Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed soup with the sour cream until well blended. Set aside.
-
In another large mixing bowl, mix together the ripe olives, diced green chilies, shredded chicken or turkey, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Add about one-third of the soup and sour cream mixture to the chicken mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
-
Next, assemble the enchiladas: Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each flour tortilla and roll up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas seam side down in the prepared baking pan. You may need to use two pans to fit all 12 enchiladas.
-
Once all the enchiladas are assembled and in the baking pan(s), pour the remaining soup and sour cream mixture evenly over the top of the enchiladas, ensuring they are fully covered.
-
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas, covering them generously.
-
Cover the baking pan(s) with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Once baked, remove the foil and let the enchiladas cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, or any other desired toppings.
