Description

Quick and cheesy comfort food perfect for busy weeknights, these queso chicken enchiladas are made with rotisserie chicken and topped with creamy Queso Blanco.


Ingredients

  • 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas (or warmed corn tortillas)
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (using rotisserie chicken saves time)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup sour cream (Greek yogurt works as a healthier substitute)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (mix in Monterey Jack for extra creaminess)
  • 1 can chopped green chilies (adjust based on heat preference)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained for moisture)
  • 16 oz Queso Blanco Velveeta (melts beautifully to create a creamy sauce)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, green chilies, and diced tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Take one flour tortilla and add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture along the center.
  4. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Pour the Queso Blanco Velveeta over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well-covered.
  6. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top for extra cheesiness.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, consider using pepper jack cheese or adding jalapeños to your filling. Garnish with chopped cilantro or diced tomatoes for added flavor.
