Creamy Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

We love anything around here that tastes like Buffalo wings!  So I had to give this recipe a try.

It was simple and tasty.  But I have an issue with "sogginess," so leftovers weren't that pleasant for me (I used flour tortillas, which might account for the sog factor).  Yet, I loved the taste of this recipe.  Next time I am going to see what it's like in a casserole format, like the Easy Taco Casserole.  Or maybe I'll just try the corn tortillas!

I cooked chicken tenders I had in the freezer instead of shredding a rotisserie chicken.  I cut them in half and cooked them in hot oil, leaving them undisturbed for several minutes so they would brown on one side.  I also used ranch instead of bleu cheese because Chris doesn't like it.

This recipe came from the October/November 2014 issue of Taste of Home.

Creamy Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 10 oz can enchilada sauce
1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
12 6 inch corn tortillas, warmed
1 can condensed cream of celery soup
1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp chili powder

Optional toppings:  sour cream, green onions, additional Buffalo wing sauce

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl, combine chicken, enchilada sauce, and wing sauce.  Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese.

Place 1/4 cup of chicken mixture off center on each tortilla.  Roll up and place in greased 13 x 9 pan, seam side down.

In a small bowl, mix soup, salad dressing and milk.  Pour over enchiladas.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Top with chili powder.

Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
