Easy Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (Audra cooks chicken in crockpot all day on low to make it super easy to shred)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded co-jack cheese – divided
  • 1/4 cup salsa *
  • 1 t. cumin
  • 6-8 tortillas

Directions:  Mix above ingredients together, leaving 1/2 cup cheese for top, then spoon into tortillas. Place in 9×13 pan, cover with foil, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, then bake uncovered for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese. If you want, you can pour salsa over the top of the enchiladas before you bake them – it makes the tortillas a little softer.

*Note from Audra:  I used green enchilada sauce instead of salsa.  I put 1/4 cup of green enchilada sauce into the chicken mixture and poured the rest of the can over the enchiladas before baking.  Then I served with red salsa on the side.

To freeze:
***Wrap the enchiladas individually in foil to keep them fresher, then put them in a ziplock freezer bag. DO NOT BAKE THEM IN THE FOIL!!!! ***

To use frozen:
Thaw. Unwrap each enchilada. Place in 9×13 pan, cover with foil, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, then bake uncovered for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese.

Servings: 5
