This oven-baked and super cheesy recipe is an absolute delight. Heaps of cheese and Mexican flavors combine to make this quick and easy recipe a go-to dinner any night of the week.

Serves: 8

Cooking Time: 1 hr

Ingredients
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
3/4 cup mild salsa
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese (cheddar/jack)
1 cup sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
8 flour tortillas
1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
1/2 cup milk

Instructions
In large bowl, thoroughly mix chicken, salsa, bell pepper, onion, shredded cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper and cilantro.

Fill 8 large flour tortillas with this mixture, roll them up and place in a sprayed/greased casserole dish.

Sauce: combine cheese and milk. Microwave on high, stopping to stir often, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth; it has a tendency to boil over. Pour cheese sauce over enchiladas covering completely. Spread a little more salsa over cheese sauce.

Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees F for 45-60 minutes. Remove from oven and remove foil and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
