Super Easy Chicken Enchiladas and Taco Rice! Yum!

  I'm Just an everyday Wife and Mom that loves to whip up some good last minute fab dinner. I'm not the type that plans everything out, I usually don't have time.  Our dinners consist of "what's in the pantry?" kind of meal. So what ever I have on hand, is what my little mind has to imagine up to bring into reality for the night. Most of the meals I cook up I'm sure most of you will have the ingredients and if you don't they will be cheap and reasonable enough for you to afford and won't be to exotic that will not know what to look for. :)  Enjoy!

 Tonight I made Chicken Enchiladas and Taco Rice.

Chicken Enchiladas
You will Need:    
2 Cans Chicken chunks (drained)
1 Can Old El Paso Enchilada sauce.
1- 8 pkg. Flour Tortillas (for burritos)
1 Can sliced black olives
Mexican/Taco Blend Cheese- (If you don't have it use cheddar and mozzarella mix)
1 Bag Knorr Taco rice.
1 spoonful sour cream
Salsa


1. Preheat your Oven 375° F.
2. Drain the Chicken chunks and heat it in medium size frying pan. (Use fork to break up chunks)
3. Pour 3/4 of Enchilada sauce into pan with chicken.
4. Add half of your Taco cheese mix in with Chicken and sauce.
5. Next get out your glass 6X9 Baking dish.
6. Take your round flour Tortillas and scoop the mixture and place it into your tortillas make a burrito with it but, place it down wards so the crease is on the bottom of the glass dish.
7. Pour left over Enchilada sauce over the top, with your cheese and black olives and what ever else you have on hand.( chives, diced tomatoes etc.)
8. Cook for 15 to 20 Minutes.
9. Top with Salsa and sour cream.
I made 6 Enchiladas total I packed them full!

For the side: Taco Rice
I used a bag of Taco Rice from Knorr I had on hand.
Bring 2 cups water and table spoon of butter to boil.
Add the rice and reduce heat and simmer for 7 min.
Let stand 2 min.


I should of took a picture before I cooked it. It looked a lot prettier, but I guess this will do. I took it out of the oven and tried it. It was so moist and delicious!  So that's what we had for dinner tonight hope you enjoy! ~ Kelli
