Description

A delicious baked enchilada dish featuring shredded chicken, queso, and a blend of spices, topped with melted cheese.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Arrange the burritos side by side in a 9×13 casserole dish. Pour the warm queso evenly over the top of the burritos.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes until heated through and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy.
