Chicken enchiladas

See how half-assed we're getting? The last post, the orange chocolate chip muffins with all the photos, exhausted us. We went on a week-and-a-half hiatus and now we're posting a stolen recipe from Southern Living. We did make these enchiladas, though. Swear. And our son even ate them. Which is a miracle from heaven.

They're simple and scrumptious and we think you should whip them up them tonight.

Rating: 1/2 assed

Here's what you need and how you do it

3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded (we used boneless, skinless chicken breasts)

2 cups shredded cheese (Southern Living suggests Monterey Jack with peppers. We used cheddar)

1/2 cup sour cream

1 can chopped green chiles, drained

1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

8 8-inch flour tortillas

Vegetable cooking spray

1 8-ounce container sour cream

1 8-ounce bottle green taco sauce

Toppings: diced tomato, chopped avocado, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, chopped cilantro

Stir together first five ingredients. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over each tortilla, and roll up. Arrange in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Coat tortillas with vegetable spray. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

Stir together sour cream and taco sauce. Spoon over hot enchiladas and sprinkle with toppings.

I have a hard time getting my daughter to eat anything I make other than frozen chicken dippers or tuna pasta bake. I'll give this a try and see how it goes. I'm not holding my breath though!

I think it looks delicious by the way and at least if she doesn't eat it, I'll get double portions!

We had friends over for dinner last weekend, and I made these. They were delicious! I had to substitute a red taco sauce for the green because they didn't have it at my grocery store. No matter. The recipe still got raves from everyone.
