Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas


Made these tonight, makes 8 enchiladas!

Ingredients:
8-16 corn tortillas, if you want to double up use 16 since they do rip easily
2 chicken breast, about a pound, boiled and shredded
2+ cups of mexican blend cheese
1 (8oz) can Old El Paso enchilada sauce, I used the mild sauce

Directions:
Preheat ove to 375 degrees
Spray cooking dish

For boiling the chicken: in 6 or so cups of water boil both chicken breast, salt and pepper the water, or add a chicken bouillon cube. remove chicken once cooked all the way through, let cool then shred. Save about 1/2 cup of the broth to pour over the enchiladas.

For enchiladas: in a bowl mix together shredded chicken, 3/4 can of enchilada sauce and 1 cup of cheese. Spoon mixture onto one end of tortilla and roll, place in dish with seam side down. Repeat 7 more times. There might be some chicken mixture left over, just pour the rest on top of the enchiladas. Then pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Cover the top with remaining cheese.
Cook in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
**To spice it up add a couple spoonfuls of salsa to the chicken mixture, tasty!!
