MomsMenu.com Recipe Finder Chicken Enchiladas

2 to 3 cups cooked chicken, chopped*
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1-16 oz jar salsa or taco sauce, divided
24 corn tortillas
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Suggested Toppings:
(Use any or all of the following)
lettuce, shredded
Jalapenos, chopped
onion, chopped
salsa
cheddar cheese, shredded
sour cream
tomatoes, chopped
black olives, chopped

When ready to start, place tortillas in a bowl of warm water to soften, only leave them in the water a couple of minutes, if left too long they will become soggy (this can be done while preparing the filling).

For the filling combine the chicken, onion and 3/4 cup of the salsa. Remove tortillas from the water and place about 1 tablespoonful of filling down the center of each one. Then sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of cheese over the filling in each. Roll up each tortilla, and place in baking dish, in a row closely together to help them stay rolled up. Pour remaining salsa over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Heat in the microwave 5 minutes, or until heated through and cheese on top has melted. Serve as is, or with suggested toppings sprinkled over top of the enchiladas.
