Easy Chicken Enchiladas

Easy chicken enchiladas are a great one-dish meal for busy weeknights. Try our Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole recipe for an irresistible meal that everyone in the family will love.

Enchiladas are typically made by rolling a soft tortilla around a cheesy meat or vegetable filling. The enchiladas are served hot and are usually topped with a tomato-based sauce or salsa and garnished with sour cream and extra cheese.

Depending on your family’s preferences, you can create your own easy chicken enchiladas by mixing shredded cooked chicken with your choice of onions, sweet peppers, black olives, and/or jalapeno peppers. Wrap the filling in tortillas, top with salsa and cheese, and bake until bubbly.

Make your chicken enchiladas into a meal by serving them with a side dish of refried beans or Mexican rice. To make the rice, add chopped tomatoes, cilantro, corn, black beans, cheese, and green peppers to hot cooked rice.

Our Super Easy Chicken Enchiladas recipe is ideal for a lazy weekend day or a hectic weeknight. The simple enchilada sauce uses a can of cream of mushroom soup for a time-saving shortcut.
