Description
Queso Chicken Enchiladas Bake is a cheesy and delicious dish that combines shredded chicken, taco seasoning, and a creamy queso sauce, all wrapped in flour tortillas and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 burrito size flour tortillas
- 2.5 cups shredded chicken
- 0.5 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 pound queso blanco Velveeta, cubed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green chilies. Stir until well mixed, then set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the cubed Velveeta and the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir occasionally until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
- Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, spread slightly, and roll it up to form a burrito.
- Arrange the burritos side by side in a 9×13 casserole dish. Pour the warm queso evenly over the top of the burritos.
- Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes until heated through and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- For spicier enchiladas, consider adding jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
