How to make Christmas Enchiladas

Holiday Cheer on a Plate: Christmas Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
8 oz Monterey jack cheese shredded, divided
1/2-1 cup salsa
8 fajita size flour tortillas
8 oz red enchilada sauce
8 oz green enchilada sauce
Toppings as desired : tomatoes diced, cilantro chopped, avocado, sour cream etc.

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a 9×13 glass dish with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the baking dish into halves lengthwise, spreading approximately 3 tablespoons of red enchilada sauce in the top half and 3 tablespoons of green enchilada sauce in the bottom half. Set the dish aside.
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, two-thirds of the shredded cheese, and enough salsa to moisten the filling mixture.
Evenly fill 8 flour tortillas with the prepared filling, roll them up, and place them in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over the top half of the enchiladas and the remaining green enchilada sauce over the bottom half.
To prevent sticking, run a butter knife or rubber scraper between each enchilada. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Cover the baking dish with foil* and bake for 30 minutes or until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese is melted.
Once baked, top with any desired toppings and serve.
