Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas—creamy, cheesy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner:
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
- 1 can (10 oz) green enchilada sauce
- 8–10 flour or corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sour cream, cilantro, sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix filling: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, half the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble enchiladas:
- Spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.
- Place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Add sauce and cheese: Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- Bake: 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Garnish with green onions, sour cream, or cilantro. Enjoy warm!
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of taco seasoning to the chicken mixture.
- You can make these ahead of time and refrigerate before baking—they reheat beautifully.
