Chicken Enchiladas



Hm. As you can see, I forgot to take a picture of this until someone reminded me near the end. This deliciousness was gobbled up pretty quickly by one of my small groups a few weeks back.

So. Let's get down to business. As you can see, because I stuffed as many enchiladas as I could into this picture, it turned more into a casserole than individual enchiladas, but it was still quite good tasting. I doubled the recipe for us and used two cans of cream of mushroom and simplified things for myself by buying one of those lovely lemon pepper rotisserie chickens from the grocery store. The chicken tasted great...almost like I cooked it myself. LoL. Oh man, yea right. Maybe after a few years, meat is a whole new level of cooking I'm not ready for. Oddly enough, I also misread the recipe and bought corn tortillas too, instead of flour. They worked just fine so long as you heat up a frying pan with no oil or butter or anything, and just heated up the tortillas prior to filling and folding them over so they didn't crack. I also used nonfat milk and everything turned out great so there's some wiggle room for that part. Happy enchilada-ing!

4.5 out of 5 stars!

  1. looks delicious!!! an enchilada casserole is a great idea if you don't need to care about presentation, although this does certainly does look very pretty. i've started packing my lunch to work and a casserole would be easy to save, pack, and reheat for later. :) glad to see your small group gobbled this up!
