Want a recipe that uses leftover rotisserie chicken and can freeze well? Then look no further, because this recipe, adapted from a
Kraft recipe, fits the bill. I pretty much just added extra cheese, salsa, and cilantro, because who couldn't use a little extra yum?
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, shredded
1 1/4 c. salsa, divided
4 oz. cream cheese
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro
1 t. ground cumin
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar & monterey jack cheeses, divided
6 flour tortillas (medium size)
* Serves 4*
|
Spray large skillet (I use a wok, because, believe me, you want a large skillet) with cooking spray. Cook onions and garlic over medium heat 2 minutes. I didn't have enough onion, so I added in some red onion. |
|
Add chicken, 1/4 c. salsa, cream cheese, cilantro, and cumin. Mix well and cook 5 minutes or until heated through. |
|
Add 1/2 c. cheese and mix in well. |
|
Spoon mixture onto tortilla. Place mixture on one side of the tortilla and start rolling it up from that side or else you will have a big mess on your hands. |
|
Place enchilada, seam-side down, in baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. I split the 6 enchiladas up into two baking dishes because I'm sharing one with a friend. By the way, these foil cake pans are the perfect size! |
|
Top with remaining salsa and cheese. |
|
If you want to go ahead and eat, back at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Since this is such a great freezer meal, I went ahead and made my half freezer-ready for another day when I don't feel don't have time to cook. Enjoy! |
