Description

Creamy Queso Chicken Enchiladas are rich, cheesy, and comforting—filled with seasoned chicken and smothered in smooth queso sauce.


Ingredients

Enchiladas Filling

  • 4 burrito-size tortillas (flour or corn, warmed)
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 can chopped green chilies

Queso Sauce

  • 16 oz queso blanco (Velveeta or similar)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)


Instructions

  1. Mix chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, cheese, and green chilies in a bowl.
  2. Melt queso blanco with undrained tomatoes in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
  3. Fill tortillas with chicken mixture and roll tightly.
  4. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour queso sauce over enchiladas evenly.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas first to prevent cracking.
  • Add jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Top with cilantro, onions, or extra cheese if desired.
