Dinner Tonight: January 22, 2019 Easy Cheesy Enchiladas

Easy Cheesy Enchiladas

Fun

One person leaves the table for a minute. The others choose an emotion and act out that feeling until "It" is able to guess the emotion.

What are three ways you're like your friends? What are three ways you're all different?

This is a dish that takes well to improvisation: use leftover chicken, beef or seafood in the filling. Or check out our veggie options. Leftover cooked vegetables are nice, or you can add in beans or corn kernels. The sky’s the limit! Corn tortillas are traditional, but use flour ones if that’s what your family prefers.

Ingredients

Serves 4-5

  • 2 cups shredded roasted chicken (You can roast it yourself, or buy a rotisserie chicken from the store–either way, make extra so you can use the leftovers in salads, soups, sandwiches, etc.)
  • 1 cup thawed frozen corn
  • 1 and 1/2 cups grated cheese
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (I use Old El Paso, but use whichever is your favorite!)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
