Taste of Tuesday: Easy Chicken Enchiladas


~ Who's Hungry!? ~

Happy Tuesday lovies! Have I got another great recipe for you! Like usual I found this recipe on Pinterest via KevinandAmanda.com and am obsessed; it's beyond delicious and only has FOUR INGREDIENTS! It's Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas.

Okay, so here is everything you'll need!


Ingredients:
* 1 jar of Salsa Verde.  (Ortega is the only brand I could find, but any will work).
* 8 Flour Tortillas (I bought the least expensive).
* Precooked shredded or chopped chicken; enough to make 3 cups (they recommend buying & shredding a rotisserie but I found it's cheaper to buy chicken breast or tenderloins on sale, boil them for 10 mins, and then shred it.  Take more time but saved me almost $5 at the grocery). 
* 2 cups Pepper Jack Cheese (adds that extra kick.  If you have kids, I would recommend going w/ Monterrey Jack instead).

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine 3 cups chicken, 1 cup salsa verde, and 1 cup shredded cheese in a bowl.
2. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray, and spoon a thin layer of salsa verde into the bottom of the dish.
3. Spoon about 1/3 cup mixture down the middle of a tortilla.
4. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down in the baking dish.
5. top enchiladas with remaining salsa…
6. And 1 cup shredded cheese.
7. Bake at 350 degrees F uncovered for 20-30 minutes until bubbly.

Voila! Serve & Enjoy! And, they're just as good the next day re-heated for lunch! Makes Wednesday all that much better to look forward to! XOXO

Ohh...and of course we had to have margaritas! I made a skinny girl version that serves 2 people; 2 shots of tequila, 1 shot of cointreau, 1 can of La Croix (lemon or lime flavor), fresh squeezed limes, and a teaspoon of splenda if you like your margs a little sweeter.
