Cream Cheese and Chicken Enchiladas
x
Print Options
Description
Cream cheese + chicken + flour tortillas = Heaven.
True story.
Ingredients
- 1 package Chicken Breasts (3-5 Breasts)
- Seasonings
- 2 blocks Cream Cheese
- 2 cups Salsa, Divided
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese, Divided (I Usually Do A Monterey/Colby Blend, But Whichever You Prefer)
- 10 whole Flour Tortillas (fajita Sized)--this Number May Vary Depending On How Full You Fill The Tortilla
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2. Cut up the chicken into approximately 1 inch cubes
3. Saute in skillet (with a small amount of olive oil or vegetable oil) till cooked through. Season as desired–I usually do pepper, salt, and Tony Chacherre’s blend.
4. In a separate bowl, combine 2 blocks of cream cheese, 1 cup of salsa (choose your favorite!), and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
5. When chicken is cooked, place in the cream cheese mixture, and mix all of it together. To be entirely honest, I just stick both hands in and mix it up. Messier for sure, but it gets the job done quick!
6. Grease (or non-stick spray) a casserole dish (8×8 or 8 1/2 x 11) .
7. Place about 1/4-1/3 cup of cream cheese mixture into a tortilla and roll tightly.
8. Place in greased casserole dish.
9. Repeat with remainder of mixture/tortillas. Place them tightly together and squeeze them all in!
10. Cover the rolled tortillas in the dish with a thin layer of salsa (approx. 1 cup will do).
11. Cover that with a layer of shredded cheese (again, approx. 1 cup will do).
12. Pop in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. When the cheese is cooked and all bubbly, but not burned, it should be done.
Enjoy!

I made these recently and just used 1 block of cream cheese, which was plenty for me. I used a can of mild Rotel instead of salsa, which worked great. I also mixed a little bit of sour cream with salsa for the sauce on top and sprinkled some extra cheese. It was awesome!

I made these tonight for dinner and they were so good. I mistakenly only bought 1 pkg of cream cheese and it was definitely rich enough for me! I probably wouldn’t make it w/ 2 blocks, but that’s just me. I liked them how they were. They are very creamy & cheesy and were delicious with extra salsa. Thanks for sharing!
