Easy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
To make this very simple, you need to go to the store and buy an already-cooked rotisserie chicken.
Ingredients:
*cut up a rotisserie chicken and cube it (need two cups)
*8 0z. Package of Cream Cheese
* olives (1/2 large can)
*Shredded Cheddar Cheese (as much as you want)
*Salsa (whatever kind you enjoy)
*Flour tortillas (8-10 smaller ones)
*One cup of sour cream or plain yogurt
*2 Green Onions Chopped
*One Small Tomato Chopped
Preheat oven to 350
Directions:
*In a bowl, mix the cubed chicken with the cream cheese (soften it in the microwave first to mix easier) and olives
* Lay out the flour tortillas in a 13×9 pan and spoon the mixture into the center of the tortillas
*Fold up the tortillas and put the seam face down in a dish. Next, mix the salsa and sour cream in a bowl and spoon it over the chicken enchiladas
*Put the enchiladas in the oven for 20 minutes, uncovered
*When the timer goes off, put as much shredded cheese on the top as you so desire and cut up olives too. Put back into the oven for 15 minutes
*Take out and add chopped green onions and tomato, let cool, serve, and enjoy!

The only thing I would change would be to use soft corn tortillas (I have to eat Gluten Free – can’t have flour), and probably wouldn’t put olives – although hubby LOVES olives, I don’t. Gross. LOL
Everything else looks super easy and delicious!
I think I may need to make this later this week. I’m drooling right now!
