It’s a Mexican Fiesta!
by Kari
What I love about this Enchilada recipe is that you can change it up so it never tastes the same. I’ve tried all 3 flavors of enchilada sauce and I love them all. I usually make the red because my husband loves hot and spicy things (obviously, since he married a redhead 
).
Enchiladas
2 cans Chicken Breast; drained & flaked
2 cans diced chiles
3 Roma tomatoes; diced
4 green onions; diced
Black Beans; drained & rinsed (optional)
Sharp cheddar cheese; shredded
Enchilada Sauce (Red is hot, green is medium, white is mild)
La Victoria Salsa Verde
1/2 cup Sour Cream
8 oz. Cream Cheese
Spanish rice (optional)
9-15 Large flour tortillas
Spread half of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of your pans (this recipe will make 1 1/2 to 2-9×13 pans depending on how full you fill your tortillas). As you fill and wrap up your enchiladas, place them snugly together in your pan(s). Top with remaining enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Other options: green or red peppers, steak, beef or crab meat, or frozen vegetables.

This is a yummy follow up to any Mexican dish! When you pair it with a scoop of ice cream it tastes just like fried apples and ice cream. Mmm!

Yum! Those enchiladas look delicious! I see cream cheese and sour cream in the photo but they're not mentioned in the recipe. Kind of looks like the chicken mixture has cream cheese in it, which is only making me hungrier. Should I add some in? How much?
Kari! Looks yummy. I totally need a chicken enchilada recipe and this could be the one! I love cooking with canned goods! So easy!
YES please! YUMMMY!! I'll be making this for dinner next week for sure. I made some chicken enchiladas yesterday but it was in a white sauce, not red, so this will be a nice change. Thanks for posting!
I just discovered your blog and I have been inspired to be more creative with my hottie of a husband when it comes to dating him. I was asked to teach a class at church called "Couples Getaway" and to talk about courting our spouses after marriage and to share fun, creative dating ideas to do…you have helped and inspired me! Thanks!!! Hopefully my married dating life won't be so lackluster anymore!!! I am a follower!–Jamie
@sourkraut – Haha! You caught me! baha, sorry I didn't throw that mention in the recipe. What I meant to mention was that I do add cream cheese, but you don't have to. I know some people like the healthier meals option, but the cream cheese really adds a lot of deliciousness to the recipe! Mmm. I put in all 8oz and less sour cream. I go off of the consistency of the mixture, so if it's too thick – add more sour cream or cream of chicken soup.
@Jamie – I'm so glad that you found us! Let us know how your "Couples Getaway" goes. That sounds like a fun night, wish I could be in on something like that! Keep us posted!
Wow that looks amazing! must try! Such an inspiration.

Hi girls! I am SOOOO excited to have found your blog. Our hearts definitely beat in the same direction. My goal, when I got married, was to still feel like newlyweds throughout our lifetime of living together. Well, 11 years later…still going strong! Much of that is thanks to creative daters like you guys. How fun to find this in blog form! I have a little page on my blog for my readers to post their date ideas, but it doesn't garnish much participation…still, it's something I want to encourage! You've inspired me to make this subject more of a "regular" in my posts. And you know I'll be back here often to visit
