CHICKEN OR TURKEY ENCHILADAS

This is a take on a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, January 1997. The original recipe calls for turkey, which we use occasionally, but we love to have this at other times throughout the year with chicken.

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan cook onion, covered, in a small amount of water over medium heat until tender; drain.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, the 1 tablespoons.
  • water, cumin, pepper, and salt.
  • Stir in the cooked onion and chicken.
  • Wrap the tortillas in foil.
  • Heat in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until softened (if using a microwave, wrap the tortillas in a microwave-safe paper towel and micro-cook on high for 30 to 60 seconds until softened).
  • Meanwhile, spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick coating.
  • For each enchilada, spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto one tortilla; roll up.
  • Place the tortilla, seam side down, in the baking dish.
  • Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
  • For the sauce, in a medium mixing bowl combine soup, sour cream, milk, and jalapeno peppers; pour mixture over the enchiladas.
  • Bake covered, in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until heated through.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Bake the enchiladas, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes more until the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with cilantro, parsley, tomatoes, and sweet peppers if desired.
  • NOTE: Usually I don't have chicken prepared in advance, so I use 4 chicken breast halves and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and cumin.
  • I either saute these or grill them until no longer pink.
  • I shred the meat and proceed as usual with the recipe.
  • The time to make does not include this step.

CHICKEN OR TURKEY ENCHILADAS

I found this recipe in an old Betty Crocker grocery store recipe book (my friend gave me a huge pile of them, so I have made quite a few). This is a very different and much lower fat version than the ones that use cream of chicken soup. My whole family enjoyed these, even the 5 year old!
