Three Cheese Chicken Enchiladas
The creamy sauce that makes these enchiladas a delicious and easy-to-assemble dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1½ tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 1½ 10-ounce cans ROTEL Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 ounces crumbled feta or goat cheese
- Twelve 6 inch flour tortillas
- 1½ cups half and half cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat until tender. Stir in chicken, Rotel, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro and feta cheese.
- Spoon about ¼ cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up tortillas, and place, seam-side-down, in lightly greased 13×9 inch baking dish.
- Whisk together half and half and cumin powder in a small saucepan over low heat until cumin is mixed in and liquid is warmed. (You can also heat it in the microwave for about 2 minutes). Pour over tortillas.
- Bake, covered with foil, for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more minutes. Sprinkle with shredded cheeses and cilantro (if using) bake 10 more minutes.
