Before leaving for Europe, I made a big batch of these saucy, scrumptious enchiladas, wrapped ‘em up tight and popped them in the freezer. When we sleepily stumbled in after an entire day of flying back from the trip, this was the perfect comfort food we needed to welcome us home.

A good back rub and a chilled margarita would have made it complete, but we took what we could get!

Four Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 pkg. (1.25 oz.) taco seasoning

2 cups chunky-style salsa

1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup frozen or fresh corn

2 cups Sargento Fancy Shredded 4 Cheese Mexican Cheese, divided

20 oz. red or green enchilada sauce

8 (6-inch) flour tortillas

2 Tbsp. sliced black olives

2 Tbsp. sliced green onions or chopped cilantro

Sour cream, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet set to medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add taco seasoning; cook for an additional 2 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in salsa, beans, corn and 1 cup cheese.

Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish. Soften tortillas by placing inside a slightly damp paper towel, setting on a plate and microwaving for 30 seconds. Place 2/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place in dish, seam-side-down.

Pour remaining sauce over tortillas; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and filling is hot. Garnish with olives, green onions/cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired.

Enjoy!

    We are big Mexican food fans. Love your idea for take out food (take it out of the freezer). ;-) I make my own enchilada sauce and keep extra in the freezer. It’s so easy. It tastes better than canned and so much less expensive!

    Wow, Georgia. Those enchiladas look fantastic. There is nothing like Mexican food to warm the heart and the soul…and the belly, of course. :)

    Do you have a homemade recipe for the sauce? That is what really makes such a difference. I will search your site to see.
