Join the discussionAhh, I needed this yesterday before I finally took the chicken all apart and put it in the freezer. I’ll pull some out for this soon. 🙂
Could these be made with corn tortillas instead? Would you maybe do two corn for every one flour since they’re smaller? Thanks!
Amy, you could definitely do corn tortillas. I would fill them with less filling but then you could just end up with more enchiladas (always a great thing in my house!).
You could also make it as an enchilada casserole.
I made these yesterday with corn tortillas, so delicious and very filling.
I was thinking about making this for a elderly couple to eat while the wife undergoes chemotherapy. Could this be baked straight from the freezer? About how long in the oven?
I wouldn’t recommend baking it straight from the oven. If they could pull it out that morning and put it in the fridge, that would help. If you did it straight from freezing, I’d at least double the baking time. And I think that is a great blessing to pass on!
Okay, thank you! I’ll recommend cooking it as you originally describe.
Hi made this for dinner and had enough to freeze 2extra meals for my husband and I. He loved it, instead of greenchiles, I added a can of cream of. Chicken soup and creme cheese
