Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 flour tortillas soft taco
  • 2 chicken breast cooked and shredded
  • 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans green chili drained, diced
  • 1 pint sour cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 cups Colby jack cheese grated
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken, green chili's, sour cream, and cream cheese until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Remove about ⅓ of the green chili mixture to a separate bowl and set aside. Add the shredded chicken to the remaining mixture.
  3. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish and also spread a little bit of the chicken mixture on the bottom of the pan. Place a large spoonful of the chicken mixture in a tortilla and add a generous amount of cheese (about ¼ cup). Roll up and place in the pan. We can usually fit two rows of 6, horizontally in the pan. When the pan is full, top with plain green chili mixture and remaining cheese.
  4. Cover with foil and cook at 350°F for 45 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake for another 15 minutes.

Notes

  • RECIPE TIPS
  • Prep ahead of time. Roll the enchiladas as instructed, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, or cover again with aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. If needed thaw in the fridge before baking.
  • Store leftover enchiladas in an airtight container(s) in the fridge for 2-3 days for freeze for 2-3 months. 
  • We will often blend the diced green chilies. The smooth texture distributes the flavor more easily and evenly.
  • We bake this recipe in a glass casserole dish. If you choose to bake them in a metal pan, then keep on eye on them as they may cook a little faster. 
  • To avoid soggy enchiladas, be sure to drain the cans of chilis, and remove the foil during the last of the baking time.
