Join the discussionThese are a favorite in our house! Sometimes to switch things up, I will make a casserole instead 🙂
These are amazing for sure!!!
I accidentally bought the red sauce for these.
When I made the filling I mixed the cooked chicken with the cream cheese and green chilies, but I also added sour cream, some of the shredded cheese, and a little of the red sauce. They were WONDERFUL!!
Can these be made with corn tortillas and still be frozen well?
Amanda- I am not sure how the corn tortillas would work. If you try it, let us know how they turn out!
Lisa,
I buy corn tortillas in bulk at my local sam’s and vacuum seal then freeze them. I never have a problem defrosting and using them. the only problem I know is that you have to moisten corn tortillas with a little heat and oil or microwave wrapped in a paper towel to get them to roll without cracking.
Lisa,Do you think this can be made stove-top or in the crock-pot? We are continuing to have triple digit temperatures and I am running out of ideas for meals.
Anne –
I have prepared the enchiladas and not put them in the baking dish, but just microwaved individually. I am sure if you had a small baking dish you could prepare in entree form and microwave to heat!
