Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, then spray with cooking spray.
  2. 2 Combine salsa and cream cheese in a large pan over medium heat; cook and stir until cream cheese has melted and mixture is creamy and thoroughly combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

    These were delicious and easy to prepare! I served them over a bed of shredded lettuce with rice and black beans as a side dish. We also like to top them with sour cream and salsa. A great recipe to keep.

    Definitely going to make this again! I triple the recipe and it fed all seven of us. My kids love you so much there was no leftovers

    Instead of rolling enchiladas, I layered the tortillas with the filling and made a casserole. Very good and cheesy, not spicy even though I added a 4 ounce can of green chiles. Quick and easy.

    Overall loved the recipe. Especially the simplicity of it! I added black beans to the filling and that was a major hit at our house! We plan to bake it longer next time and add more meat and beans to the filling because it was a little too saucy for us. The rice helped that - Read more ...
