Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

We enjoyed these cheesy chicken enchiladas over the weekend.  The picture is not the best, but let's be honest, nothing really looks great in a casserole dish.


Ingredients:
2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon garlic powder
8 oz. diced green chiles
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup sour cream
2 cups of chicken (we used rotisserie)
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package of large tortillas (10, I think)
1/2 cup of milk

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 large baking dishes.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the green onion until tender (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the garlic powder, then stir in the green chiles, cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Mix well. Reserve 3/4 of this sauce and set aside. To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the chicken and 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir together.
  3. Fill each flour tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

Welcome to the Foodie Blogroll!

You totally nailed the "Nothing ever looks good in a casserole" comment. It's so hard to get a great photo there even when the food is off the charts good.

And these enchiladas really sound off the charts good.

Great post.
