Chicken Enchiladas

I got this recipe for Chicken Enchiladas from someone at school. It's freaking delicious. It's not your typical mexican dish you would get from the restaurant but it's pretty freaking close. I also make it with some spanish rice and I always have to have some sour cream. :) The first time I made them it took me forever. I was like there is no way in hell I'm going to be making these that often because of all the standing and work I had to do. After I've made it a couple times I've learned that if you go ahead and start with the other preparations and cooking the other things it will definitely speed things up.

Ingredients 


3 to 4 Chicken breasts
2- 8 ounces of cream cheese
16 ounces of Salsa
1/4 block velveeta cheese
8-10  tortilla wraps
3/4 cup of milk


Directions



  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • You can either cook the chicken in the oven for a hour or boil the chicken. Boiling the chicken takes less time.
  • While the chicken is cooking, put the cream cheese and salsa in a pot and cook until cream cheese is completely melted and mixed with the salsa.
  • Once the chicken is done and it has cooled off enough to touch it, shred it and mix it in with the salsa mixture.
  • Take 3/4 cup of milk and 1/4 block of Velveeta(cut into cubes) and put in another pot. Cook on medium to high but make sure you watch it so the milk doesn't burn. Once the cheese starts melting I use a whisk to break it up and mix it. It works so much better that way.
  • While the cheese mixture is cooking, start spooning in the salsa mixture into the tortillas. Fold them and lay them down in the dish you are using. I use the big pyrex dishes and can fit like 5 to 6 in each one.  This recipe makes enough for 2 pyrex dishes.
  • Once the tortillas are rolled up and the cheese mixture is done, you will pour the mixture over the tortillas and put in the oven for 15 minutes. In order to have enough of the cheese mixture for both dishes you will need to double the ingredients(milk and cheese). 
I remember the first time I made these my aunt said she wanted to lick the plate. lol I'm not going to lie, I totally wanted to also. If you end up making this let me know how it turned out and what you  thought. Hope you enjoy.
