The Secret to Easy Enchiladas

What makes Campbell's Easy Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas so simple to make? The secret lies in the sauce. Campbell's condensed cream of chicken soup is the key ingredient that adds a creamy and flavorful base to these enchiladas. It acts as a shortcut, eliminating the need for multiple spices and sauces. With just one can of soup, you can achieve a rich and satisfying sauce that perfectly complements the chicken and cheese filling.

Preparing the Enchiladas

To make Campbell's Easy Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas, start by cooking and shredding the chicken. Mix the shredded chicken with shredded cheese, diced green chilies, and a small amount of the cream of chicken soup. This mixture will be the filling for the enchiladas. Next, spoon the filling onto tortillas and roll them up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas in a baking dish, seam-side down.

Pour on the Flavor

Once the enchiladas are in the baking dish, it's time to pour on the flavor. Simply pour the remaining cream of chicken soup over the enchiladas, spreading it evenly to cover them completely. This will create a creamy and delicious sauce that will bake into the enchiladas, adding even more flavor and moisture.

Baking and Serving

Pop the dish into the oven and bake the enchiladas until they are hot and bubbly. The cheese will be melted and the sauce will be thick and creamy. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa. You can also garnish them with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

Frequently asked questions

. Can I use a different type of soup?

Yes, you can experiment with different types of condensed soups to create different flavors. Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soups would work well in this recipe.

. Can I make these enchiladas ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the enchiladas ahead of time and refrigerate them until you are ready to bake them. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly, as cold enchiladas will take a little longer to heat through.

. Can I freeze the enchiladas?

Yes, you can freeze the enchiladas before baking them. Simply assemble them as directed, but instead of baking, wrap the dish tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When you're ready to enjoy them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed.

. Can I use leftover chicken?

Absolutely! Leftover rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken would work perfectly in this recipe. Just shred the chicken and mix it with the other filling ingredients.

. Can I substitute the chicken with beef or beans?

Certainly! Feel free to get creative with the filling. You can substitute the chicken with ground beef, shredded beef, or even black beans for a vegetarian option.

. Are these enchiladas spicy?

The level of spiciness can be adjusted to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use mild green chilies or omit them altogether. If you like it spicy, you can use hot green chilies or add some diced jalapenos.

. Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Absolutely! Corn tortillas would work just as well in this recipe. They may have a slightly different texture, but they will still be delicious.

. Can I add extra cheese to the filling?

Of course! If you're a cheese lover, feel free to add extra shredded cheese to the filling mixture. It will melt and become gooey and delicious during the baking process.
