Cheater Enchiladas Recipes

EASY CHEESY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Chop or shred cooked chicken. Add it to a bowl with 1/2 cup shredded cheese (reserve the rest to top your dish) and 1/4 cup enchilada sauce to hold it together. Stir to combine.
• Lay a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon approximately 1/3 cup of mixture in a line near the center of the tortilla. Fold one side over the center line of filling, then roll. Place seam side down in a 9x13 glass baking dish. Repeat with the remaining seven tortillas.
• Pour enchilada sauce over the tops of the chicken enchiladas. Use a spatula to gently press any exposed tortilla ends into the sauce. Spread the cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken enchiladas.
• Bake in 425 degree oven for 10 minutes, until you see the cheese melted and sauce bubbling. Let sit for one to two minutes, then serve immediately.

CHEATER ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• 1. Combine enchilada sauce and chili; mix well. Spoon a small amount into the bottom of a 9"x 7" baking dish, spreading to cover lightly.
• 2. Place taquitos in a single layer over the sauce. NOTE: When I used the whole package of taquitos, there wasn't enough sauce, which is why I only recommend 6-8.
• 3. If using alternative method, spoon 1/2 tsp. onion and 1/4 c. cheese into each tortilla and roll up tightly, then place in a single layer in baking dish.
• 4. Pour remaining sauce over taquitos. If desired, top with extra cheese.
• 5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
