Kelly Cheats: Easy Chicken Enchiladas

Here’s the truth:  Kelly McCausey is a terrible cook.

Still, she occasionally excels with cheater recipes that make use of super simple ingredients – like her Easy Chicken Enchiladas.  The only skills necessary are the ability to boil water and use a microwave.

You’ll need:

  • One Package of Flour Tortillas (Size is your choice)
  • One Family Size Minute Rice Packet (Boil and drain according to instructions.)
  • One Small Store Cooked Roasted Chicken. (Boned and shredded)
  • One 3 Cup Package of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • One Can of Old El Paso Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
  • One Pack of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
  • Small Container of Sour Cream

Mix the cooked rice, one cup of shredded cheese and chicken together with the Taco Seasoning and about 1/3 the can of Enchilada Sauce.

Spoon the rice and chicken mixture down the center of your flour tortilla and roll it up.

Take a plate, spoon some enchilada sauce onto the plate and lay the rolled up tortilla on it.  Spoon more enchilada sauce on top and then scoop a handful of shredded cheese on top of that.

Pop the plate in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.  (I prepare each plate individually and serve it piping hot with sour cream.)

    I can’t believe this recipe comes from a terrible cook. You’re simply a smart cook who knows how to make shortcuts. Will definitely try this!
