Jalapeno Chicken Enchiladas
Quick and easy enchiladas are made with jalapeno cream cheese and rotisserie chicken.
- 1 1/2 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 tbsp diced green chilies, undrained
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 4 ounces jalapeno cream cheese
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1 can red or green enchilada sauce, divided
- 1-1 tbsp salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp diced green chilies, undrained
- 4 ounces jalapeno cream cheese
- 3 tbsp sour cream, optional
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheese, divided
- Optional toppings could include chopped scallions, sour cream, avocado or cilantro.
-
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray 8 x 8 pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
-
Mix shredded chicken and spices together (if you like spicy enchiladas – you may want to increase the amount of spices). Add diced chilies and mix.
-
Pour 1/2 can of enchilada sauce in the bottom of the 8 x 8 pan.
-
Spread jalapeno cream cheese down the middle of each flour tortilla.
-
Spread sour cream on top of cream cheese, if using (could also use more of the jalapeno cream cheese).
-
Spoon about 1 – 1 1/2 tablespoon of meat mixture on top of cream cheese and sour cream.
-
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese on top of meat mixture.
-
Roll up and place in the pan, seam side down. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas.
-
Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes at 350°, until heated through and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
-
Remove from the oven, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over enchiladas and return to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
-
Top with sliced black olives, or toppings of your choice. Could also serve with lime wedges.
Jalapeno Cream Cheese Enchiladas
If you prefer more sauce in your enchiladas, use 2 cans. Pour 1 can in before you place the rolled up tortillas in the pan and 1 can in after.
Cooking the enchiladas uncovered creates a slightly crunchy texture on the tortillas. If you prefer your enchiladas soft, cover the pan with foil before baking.
