In The Kitchen: SPICY QUESO CHICKEN ENCHILADAS


I would just like to begin this by saying I am NOT in any way shape or form being endorsed by Old El Paso.. I think I just really like their products or something.  I never realized how much I purchase their products until I took this picture lololol.

Anyways on to the Ingredients!

Ingredient List:

2 Cups Cooked Shredded Chicken
6 Tortillas (I use corn)
1 Cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
1 Medium Onion
2 Large Tomatoes
2 Stalks Green Onion
8 oz. Salsa
5 oz. Queso Sauce
Taco Seasoning
Hot Sauce (To Taste)
Sour Cream (Optional)


Dice your onions.

Pre-Heat oven to 350 Degree's F.


Dice your tomatoes.


Add some oil to your pan.


Saute your diced onions.


Portion out about a 1/6 of your diced tomatoes. 


While your onions are sauteing you can chop your green onions.  

Leave your reserved tomatoes & green onions to the side.


Add in your tomatoes.


Add in your cooked & shredded chicken.


Mix in 1/2 of the Taco Seasoning.


Now for your hot sauce.  I like things SPICY.  But not everyone likes it as spicy as me.  So I would recommend taste testing as you go along.  Start with a couple of splashes and build up for more flavor.  I use about 1/4 cup and I was sweatin' when I was eating lol.


While your filling is cooking together you can start on your sauce.

Combine your salsa (if you're using the exact same products above it's about half a jar the Salsa.)


And mix in your Queso sauce (roughly 1/3 of the Queso jar) and stir together.


Microwave your Tortillas in the Microwave about 30 sec.  They are more pliable this way if you use them cold they tend to crack a lot easier.


Add a ladle full of sauce to the bottom of your pan.


Fill each tortilla with your Chicken, Onion & Tomato filling.


Place seam side down.


And repeat until you have all of your enchiladas in a row!


Cover w/ the rest of the remaining sauce.


Sprinkle your cheese on top.

Into the oven for 20 min. 


Top w/ the reserve chopped tomatoes & green onions from earlier and you're done!  

Add a dollop of Sour Cream if you please!

Btw's this recipe works great w/ Steak too :)!

  8. These look SO good Lisa and it's funny you show the taco seasoning because Jakob and I pack our suitcases with like 10 of those every time we go to the US since Switzerland does not quite understand how to make Mexican food hehe. I love that you add the green onions on top! Yum

  12. overdo it with long hot baths and showers. The steamy, warm environment strips your skin of essential oils.play bazaar satta king
