I can’t go long without making Chicken Enchiladas.
There are so many variations out there that they never are boring.
The last time I made them (in this post) I listed some of the different kinds I have made recently.
I loved the simplicity of today’s recipe. No time at all to prep, then just bake for 40 minutes.
Easy Cheesy. Yum.
Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
1 envelope enchilada sauce mix or a 15 oz can of prepared enchilada sauce

1-1/3 cups chopped fresh tomatoes, divided
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
10 flour tortillas (6 inches)
2 cups shredded lettuce

1. Prepare enchilada sauce according to package directions. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup prepared sauce, chicken, 1 cup of cheese, olives, 1/3 cup of tomatoes, green pepper and onion.

I listened to this song first thing this morning.
As always, it put a smile on my face. I’m still smiling.

Wow these look awesome! Now I need to get some for lunch today!
Be sure to save some for me! :)
Oh sorry, I already ate it all ;)
Hey, these are great! Thing 1 loves them. I just throw a chicken breast on the grill (typically on the weekend), chop it up, mix, bake, and eat. Yum! If I can get him to eat beans, then we are in business.
So glad to hear you and Thing 1 enjoyed the enchiladas! Good luck with the beans…that might be years in the making.
