    Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

    Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner…and you know what that means…

    Tex-Mex food abounds at our house. All.week.long.

    There are many reasons that we moved our family from Ohio to Texas in 2012. And I’m beginning to think that one of the sub-conscience reasons for moving was to be back in the land of amazing Tex-Mex food.

    (Please pass the homemade flour tortillas.)

    I digress.

    I love enchiladas. They are one of those ‘phase foods’ for me…I go through spurts of making them two, even three, times a week…and then forgetting about them for a few weeks, only to find myself making them twice in the same week again. Bring on the enchilada phase, and bring on Cinco de Mayo.

    If you’ve never made enchiladas before, these are the ones to start with. 4 Ingredients.

    • Green salsa, or salsa verde
    • Corn Tortillas
    • Shredded Chicken
    • Shredded Cheese

    They are simple, delicious, and if you screw up the rolling up the tortilla part, you can just layer everything in a casserole dish, and call it ‘layered enchiladas.’ No one will ever know.

    Hope you enjoy these simple and tasty enchiladas!!!

    4-Ingredient Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

    Simple ingredients, superb dinner!
    Prep Time15 minutes
    Cook Time20 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
    • 2 cups salsa verde, divided
    • 16 corn tortillas
    • 1 1/2 cups shredded jack cheese
    • Side dish ideas - rice & refried beans

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken with cup of the salsa verde.
    • Warm the tortillas in a slow oven, or wrapped in a dishtowel in the microwave. Warmed tortillas fold and roll better when making enchiladas.
    • Spoon a thin line of the chicken-salsa verde mixture into a corn tortilla and wrap tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat until the chicken, tortillas are used up and the baking dish is packed full of enchiladas. Pour the remaining salsa verde sauce over the top and then sprinkle about 1 to 1 cup shredded cheese on top.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted and salsa verde is bubbling.
    • Serve warm Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas with side of rice and refried beans.
