Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

August 16, 2015 Christina O'Connor

Mexican food is the best! And you are going to LOVE these cheesy chicken enchiladas. They are healthy, delicious, and super easy to make! Even your picky eaters in the house will enjoy this awesome recipe. The best part? You can make this dinner ahead, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before cooking {Just make sure the enchiladas are heated through before serving. You may have to leave them in the oven a bit longer!}  Enjoy! 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 8 oz reduced fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 28 oz enchilada sauce, divided
  • 1/2 can refried beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, of choice
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1 can black olives, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 package whole wheat tortilla shells

 

To Make:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, greek yogurt, and 1/2 enchilada sauce. Stir in 1/2 cup refried beans, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, corn, black olives and chili powder. Add the chicken mixture to the cheese mixture and combine well.
  4. Pour half of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon the filling into each tortilla, roll, and place into the baking dish seam down.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the filled tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.  Sprinkle with black olives, and bake in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

ABOUT ME


ME.JPG

I have a passion for all things food.

As much as I love to eat, cook, host dinner parties and experiment with new recipes, I am not a professional chef. I’m not even sure I would call myself a foodie.  I don’t come from a culinary or photography background, so everything you see on this blog is a result of hard work and self-teaching!

I have learned that eating seasonally will change your take on everyday cooking. I always use local/organic ingredients when available. Freshness makes the best meals!

My goal is to inspire others to eat healthier, and have fun while doing it.  I am so grateful to be able to share my love for food and creativity on this blog, and I hope that you will find some inspiration here.

This girl has had a rough few days... looks like it's time for Margaritas! (Just kidding, my medicine bottles say do not mix with alcohol 🤣) Despite all the sickness in our household, today is an EXCITING day for our little family. #makingmoves #movingonup

Because Sundays are for #homemade sauce and meatballs! My better half isn't a huge fan of traditional spaghetti or other pasta dishes, so we usually compromise with stuffed shells or lasagna. Just mash the meatballs, mix with ricotta and mozzarella, stuff each pasta shell and top with more sauce and mozzarella cheese (hubby doesn't even know he is basically eating the same thing 🤣 jk) #sundayfunday

22 days ago we lost a part of our family. Today we celebrated her life! I am so proud of our ophthalmology team for coming together and showing so much love and support. Life isn't easy, but it's meant to be lived. Learn to let things go, always forgive and NEVER stop loving. Keep on smiling because it will brighten someone's day. Lisa will forever be a part of each one of us 💜 #ourshiningstar #phuscophthalmology #family
