Best Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
|
Chefcarolyn / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago
These enchiladas are unbelievable. They are so popular that I've taught a class on them 45 times, no joking. If you use a rotisserie chicken add about 1 T McCormicks Fajita seasoning. Make it low carb and "gourmet" by filling halved poblano pepper... More

Ingredients
- 12 - 15 flour tortillas, medium size (8" - 10")
- 8 oz green chilies, canned, chopped
- 3 1/2 C cooked chicken with Fajita Seasoning, chopped
- 1 pt heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 large cloves garlic, smashed and diced
- 8 oz cream cheese (light is acceptable)
- 16 oz Mexican Blend Cheese
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 14 oz can of corn, drained
- 1-2 cans black beans (your preference), rinsed and drained
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, diced (more if you like it spicier)
Directions
- Sauté onion, garlic, red pepper and pepper in butter. Add chilies for a minute, and then add cream cheese. Stir until melted. Add chicken, beans and corn. Combine ingredients.
- Fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture. Make the enchiladas, place in the pan (large enough to fit enchiladas), cover with cheese and then pour the heavy cream over the enchiladas. If you want to have very soft cheese, cover with foil. For a crispier top leave the foil off.
- Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes.
- For a great side dish add a bit of the filling to a can of corn, add some hot sauce or chopped chipotle peppers, heat and serve.

45 min seems way to long. I would say approx 25-30 min until cheese is melted and then let cool for 5min.

You need the 45 minutes for everything to set up inside the enchilada.

Flavor of this dish was fabulous. Only complaint is that in the directions when to add the beans was omitted but I figured that it was missing while I was making the recipe. Also I had covered the pan as I think the sauce would dry out if it wasn't covered. I would have given a 5 for the recipe. Only reason I gave a lower mark was due to omission in the recipe.

OK I tried this recipe tonight. I was using up stuff in the fridge. These are the changes I made. Salsa Verde instead of the chilies, Pinto instead of black beans, My own fajita seasoning,Orange instead of red pepper,Queso Fresco, and Kraft block cheese.
It turned out absolutely delicious. My husband who never eats leftovers insisted that I pack it up for his lunch tommorow. THX

Just got back from the grocery. I'm going to make these tonight exactly as directed. My husband is about to come unglued - he's so hungry! :) I'll let you know how they come out!

Okay. I did it. However, I did fib just a little. I used corn tortillas instead of flour (I'm a die-hard corn tortilla gal - my adopted grandmother was Mexican from Mexico City). I also used 3 chipotles. And a little extra cheese. These were FABULOUS enchiladas. My ONLY "complaint" would be that they were a little too dry. That could have been because I used 18 tortillas (I made mine into a 3-layer casserole instead of rolling them). Next time, I may try adding a little more cream cheese. This morning, I had leftovers for breakfast and added a dollop of sour cream. Now THAT was perfection! My husband would have liked a little more heat, so next time, I will add jalapenos. Having said all of that, I gotta tell ya' - this recipe is a keeper!
