Creamy Chicken Enchiladas





We’re talking about creamy chicken enchiladas and they are simply amazing!

I remember the first time I tried them, I was skeptical. I love enchiladas, but the idea of adding cream cheese seemed unusual to me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. The cream cheese adds a delicious creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the spicy enchilada sauce and tender chicken.

Making these enchiladas is a breeze. All you need is some cooked chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, and a package of fajita seasoning. The best part is, you can use either a store-bought rotisserie chicken or cook your own chicken breasts. I love using rotisserie chicken because it saves time and adds a great smoky flavor to the enchiladas.

To make these enchiladas, you simply mix the chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, and seasoning in a bowl. Then, you spoon a generous amount of the mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place it in a baking dish. Top with enchilada sauce and more cheese, then bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

The result is a delicious, comforting meal that is perfect for any night of the week. The creamy chicken filling is rich and flavorful, and the enchilada sauce gives it a nice kick. My family loves to serve these enchiladas with a side of rice and beans, and sometimes we’ll even add some avocado and sour cream on top.

These creamy chicken enchiladas have become a staple in our house. They’re easy to make, and everyone loves them. Plus, they’re a great way to use up any leftover chicken you might have. If you’re looking for a new twist on classic enchiladas, give these a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

In conclusion, I hope you enjoyed my vlog about these amazing creamy chicken enchiladas. They’re a must-try for anyone who loves Mexican food. Let me know in the comments if you have tried them or if you have any other enchilada recipes to share. Until next time, happy cooking!

Ingredients

  • 1 can 10 ounces of Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 2 and a half cups of shredded rotisserie chicken from the deli
  • 1 and a half cups of shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 package 8 ounces of cream cheese, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 package 1 ounce of fajita seasoning mix*
  • 10 Old El Paso flour tortillas 6 inches for soft tacos and fajitas

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and seasoning mix.
  • Spoon a slightly smaller than 1/2 cup of the mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared dish.
  • Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese on top. Cover with foil.

Notes

  • If using taco seasoning mix, use only 2 tablespoons and save the rest for future use. The 2 tablespoons of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix can be used as a substitute for the 1-ounce package of Old El Paso Fajita Seasoning Mix.
  • To make the cream cheese easier to cut into cubes, freeze it for about 10 minutes before using.
