Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

  • 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 10 ounces enchilada sauce (canned is just fine)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed (canned corn works just fine, but drain it first) Next time I make these I will add 2 cups of corn. I think they needed a bit more crunch.
  • 4 oz. diced green chiles
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper
    instead of the spices I just used a packet of taco seasoning.
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced- I didn't use these because I didn't have any on hand.
  • 8 8-inch flour tortillas
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9×13 dish with cooking spray.
In the bowl of your mixer cream together the cream cheese, sour cream, and 1/2 of the enchilada sauce. Stir in 1/2 cup of each type of cheese.
In a second bowl toss together the chicken, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper, green chiles, and half of the scallions. Add the chicken mixture to the cheese mixture and combine well.
Spread about half of the remaining enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
Spoon the filling into each tortilla, roll the tortilla up, and place in the baking dish with the seam down. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the filled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and serve.

Review: Everyone except Madi loved and devoured these. They were so so yummy! I served them with some Spanish rice and a salad on the side.

Shredded Chicken Taco's

2lbs Chicken
2 cans black beans
1 can of corn
About 2-3 cups Salsa

Place all in crockpot and cook on low 4-6 hours or on high 2-4 hours


Once chicken is cooked take out and shred. Add back to beans and corn. At this point you can stir in a pkg. of Taco seasoning or leave as is. We like it kicked up a bit so I add the taco seasoning. My boys eat this in tortillas, David and I eat this on top of lettuce, more like a taco salad. If I am being healthy I eat it as is, if not then a spoonful of sour cream and some cheese makes it all the better.
