Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
-
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup with milk, stirring until well mixed. Set aside for later use.
-
Mix the filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked chicken (shredded or diced), salsa, diced green chilies, chili powder, and 2 tablespoons of the prepared soup mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and coated.
-
Assemble the enchiladas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture along one side of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed, similar to rolling a jelly roll.
-
Arrange in the baking dish: Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased 3-quart oblong baking dish, ensuring they are snugly packed together.
-
Top with sauce: Pour the remaining soup mixture evenly over the top of the assembled enchiladas, spreading it out to cover them entirely.
-
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the enchiladas are thoroughly heated and the sauce is bubbly and delicious.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream. Serve hot and savor the delightful flavors!
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a blend of cheeses into the filling or sprinkling some on top before baking.
- Customize the level of heat by adjusting the amount of salsa and green chilies to suit your taste preferences.
- Make it a complete meal by serving the enchiladas with a side of rice and beans, or a crisp green salad dressed with a zesty vinaigrette.
