Great easy to make Chicken Enchiladas

Boil 6 chicken breasts or thighs or a combo. Drain, remove skin and shred the chicken


Dice one large white onion

Melt 1 stick of butter and saute' the diced onions in a large pot

Add 2 cans of chopped green chilies. Mix the chillis and Onions together.

Add two large cans of Cream of mushroom and two large cans of Cream of Chicken soup

mix well

Add one large container of Sour Cream. Mix well.


Set aside about 1/4 to 1/2 of the mixture. Add the shredded chicken to the rest and mix well.


Using flour tortillia shells, spoon the mixture with the chicken onto each shell and fold up. Place in baking dish. ( may take two baking dishes )

Cover the rolled up shells with the mixture that does NOT have the chicken. Make sure that all of the shells are covered well.

Add shredded Cheddar cheese and Mozzerella cheese to the top

cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes

YUMMY

Buy a rotisseri chicken at the store, a can of enchilada sauce (red or green), corn tortillas, and cheese. heat up the sauce in a pan on low. Pull the chicken from the bone. Dip the tortillas in the sauce for a few seconds till warm and soft, lay it in a backing dish (9x13), add some chicken, some cheese (other stuff if you want) and roll it up and repeat. pour remaining sauce over the enchilads, sprinkle with cheese and bake.

there are a few things I'm a purist about, and enchiladas - literally "en-chilied" stuff - is one of them. Dip the corn tortillas in a chili sauce (Trader Joe's has a decent enchilada sauce), fill them or not depending on taste, bake and eat. No cream of anything, no slathering with cheese, please.

If you want to make a casserole with flour tortillas and chicken, go ahead. It's just not enchiladas.

A google search for "butter bean chili" turns up almost 5.5 MILLION hits. It's a southern thing.

A google search for "blackeyed pea chili" turns up almost 2.5 MILLION hits.

Misfits really need to get out more.
