D-Feast Friday - Chicken Enchiladas



One of my favorite enchilada recipes!  I love it because you can choose the intensity of the heat with some of the ingredients you choose.  

Ingredients
1 can (10oz) enchilada sauce, divided
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
1-1/2 cups salsa
2 cups cooked cubed chicken
1 can(15-1/2oz) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (4oz) chopped green chilies
10 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream and sliced black olives; optional


Directions: 
Spoon 1/2 enchilada sauce into a greased 13x9 baking pan.  In large saucepan, cook and stir the cream cheese and salsa over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until blended.  Stir in the chicken, beans, and chilies.  Place about 6 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.  Roll up and place seam side down over sauce.  Top with remaining enchilada sauce; sprinkle with cheese.  Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.  Serve with lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream and black olives, if desired.  


Serves 10
Carbs per serving: 48

Oh yummy!!! I've never seen a chicken enchilada recipe with cream cheese in it - but I happen to firmly believe that cream cheese makes everything every tastier. Can't wait to cook up some of these!
