Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- 8–10 tortillas
- 1 can cream chicken soup
- 1 can Rotel
- 8 oz (226 g) sour cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- Handful shredded cheese
- 0.5 onion (chopped)
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Whisk together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and whole milk until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency, adjusting with chicken broth if needed for optimal pourability.
- Chicken Mixture: Sauté onions in a skillet until translucent, then incorporate shredded chicken, taco seasoning, Rotel tomatoes, and a portion of cream of chicken soup, simmering until thoroughly heated and well-combined.
- Tortilla Warming: Microwave tortillas for 30 seconds to increase flexibility and ease of handling.
- Enchilada Assembly: Distribute chicken mixture evenly across tortillas, rolling into compact cylinders and positioning seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Final Preparation: Generously coat enchiladas with prepared sour cream sauce, sprinkle abundantly with shredded cheese, and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles, creating a golden, appetizing surface.
Notes
- Sauce Consistency Check: Thin out the sauce with chicken broth if it’s too thick, ensuring a smooth, pourable texture that coats the enchiladas evenly.
- Tortilla Prep Tip: Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave to prevent cracking and make rolling easier, creating neat, compact enchiladas.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melting and golden-brown coverage, avoiding pre-packaged shredded cheese for best results.
- Flavor Boosting Trick: Add extra taco seasoning or a splash of lime juice to the chicken mixture for a more vibrant, zesty flavor profile.
