Chicken-Cheese Enchiladas

Betsy asked me to share this super easy recipe for enchiladas.  It's from a spiral-bound Campbell's cookbook called Fabulous One-Dish Recipes (published in 1992!) that my grandmother gave me when I got my first apartment in grad school.  Back then I couldn't cook anything if it didn't have soup in it!

This remains one of my husband's favorite meals, all these years later.  In fact, since it's a spiral cookbook, I always leave the cookbook open to this page!

These are not "true" traditional Mexican enchiladas -- they are an Americanized version.  But still YUMMY!

I'll post a photo next time I make it.

Chicken-Cheese Enchiladas

1 can Campbell's Nacho Cheese soup (I usually use Cheddar Cheese soup)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups cooked diced chicken
1/2 cup salsa (I use the WHOLE JAR -- it makes them much better!)
1 4oz can chopped green chilies
1 tsp chili powder
8 flour tortillas (8 inches each)

1.  In small bowl, combine soup and milk.  Set aside.

2.  In medium bowl, combine chicken, salsa, chilies, chili powder and 2 Tbsp of soup mixture.

3.  To make enchiladas, along one side of each tortilla, spread about 1/3 cup of chicken mixture.  Roll up each tortilla jelly-roll fashion.  Place seamside down in greased 3-quart oblong baking dish.

4.  Spread reamining soup mixture over enchiladas.  Cover with foil.  Bake at 375 for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
