Ingredients
  

For the Enchiladas
  • 4 unit flour tortillas burrito size
  • 2 cups shredded chicken rotisserie preferred
  • 1 packet taco seasoning store-bought
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 can green chilies chopped
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies undrained
  • 16 oz Queso Blanco Velveeta cubed

Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, shredded cheddar, and chopped green chilies in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the chicken is completely coated in the creamy seasoning mixture.
  3. Melt the cubed Queso Blanco and the undrained diced tomatoes in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  4. Stir the cheese mixture continuously until the sauce is completely smooth and combined.
  5. Place a portion of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, roll them tightly, and arrange them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  6. Pour the warm queso sauce evenly over the top of the tortillas, making sure to cover the edges so they stay soft.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the centers are hot.
  8. Let the dish rest for five minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat in the oven to maintain the best sauce texture. For a make-ahead option, prep the chicken filling a day in advance and keep it chilled until you are ready to roll and bake.
