creamy chicken enchiladas




Enchiladas are not the greatest in my book- but these are. I just made them for the first time and we both loved this recipe. I found the recipe from this blog and the way she raved over them convinced me to try them. They're seriously good.



cooked chicken tenderloins, shredded or cubed
1/4 c butter
1/2 of an onion, chopped
1 can green chiles
8 oz cream cheese
2 c mexican style cheese, divide
1/4 c salsa
flour tortillas
1 can El Pato sauce (found in the mexican aisle, it is an enchilada sauce)
1/2 c heavy whipping cream

In a frying pan saute butter, onion, green chilies.
Mix in cream cheese, 1 cup of cheese and salsa.
Once cheese is melted add Shredded or cubed Chicken

Place about 3 Tb. of the chicken filling in a flour tortilla. Then roll it up like an enchilada and place in a 9x13 pan.


Mix together El Pato Sauce (mild if you don't like it too spicy) and the whipping cream. Then pour the sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with 1 cup of Mexican style cheese and bake at 350 for 20 min covered. Then bake 10 more minutes uncovered. Take it out when it's nice and bubbly!

I'm interested to try these. I am not at all a fan of the ever so popular Utah chicken enchilada casserole. But I do enjoy enchiladas. And this looks easy and delicious. How can you go wrong with cream, really?
