Basic Chicken Enchiladas

Just made these for dinner with stuff we had in the house. A recipe I saw had an egg in it, so I tried that and it worked well. I've made plenty of enchiladas without it though, so I'd consider the egg optional. Read more Probably wouldn't hurt to season the veggies a little, but it was delicious as is. See less
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boiled and chopped (or substitute a block of pressed tofu) shopping list
- 2 tsp oil for sautéing shopping list
- 1/2 med. onion, diced shopping list
- 1/2 red pepper, diced shopping list
- 1/2 green pepper, diced shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 can green chilies shopping list
- 1 block cream cheese (softened, if time allows) shopping list
- 4 oz. grated cheddar shopping list
- 1 egg (optional) shopping list
- corn tortillas shopping list
- sour cream (optional) shopping list
- 1 can enchilada sauce (we used red) shopping list
- some additional cheddar for topping the enchiladas shopping list
How to make it
- Boil the chicken, allow to cool a bit before chopping, set aside
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Sauté the onion and pepper on med. high, stirring occasionally, for seven minutes
- Add garlic and green chilies, lower heat to medium and continue sautéing for two minutes, stirring frequently
- Combine chicken, sautéed vegetables, cream cheese, grated cheddar and, optionally, the egg in a bowl and mix well.
- Place a few healthy tablespoons in a line across the middle of a corn tortilla and roll the tortilla around it.
- Place each tortilla seam down in a glass or foil-lined baking dish. I was able to get 10 in a 9x13 glass baking dish.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over the top, making sure to cover all of the exposed tortilla.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, topping with the additional cheddar if desired after 15 minutes
- Serve with sour cream, if desired

Hi,
This recipe sounds so good. Cream cheese. I've never tried them with cream cheese. I bet they are to die for. 5 forks, wish I could give you more. Good posting.
