Easy Creamy Chicken Enchiladas with Flour Tortillas
These creamy chicken enchiladas made with flour tortillas are easy to make and perfect for the whole family!
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese (1 block)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 3 cups shredded cheese, divided
- 28 ounces red enchilada sauce, divided
- 12-14 flour tortillas
Optional Ingredients
- green onions, cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a baking dish or casserole dish with nonstick spray. To the bottom of your prepared casserole dish, add about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce to prevent the enchiladas from sticking to the pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, seasonings, frozen corn, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese, and 1 cup of enchilada sauce. Mix the ingredients well.
- To your flour tortillas, add about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture to the end of a tortilla and roll it up. I like to have thick enchiladas, but if you want less filling in each tortilla, you will need more tortillas to create more enchiladas.
- Place seam-side down into the baking dish and continue rolling up your enchiladas until all of the chicken filling is used. This recipe usually makes 14 enchiladas. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes uncovered until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Top with green onions and chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
