Easy Chicken Enchiladas, Fully Cooked

Food definitely contributes to abundant family living and we love to eat.  I'll tell you up front that I'm not a great cook.  I've never really enjoyed it, but I'm learning to like it more and more now that our kids are all grown up and I have more time to spend in the kitchen.  The recipes I'll be sharing with you on this blog will be recipes that are easy to prepare with common ingredients.

3.  In small frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter.  I use the salted butter.  When the butter is melted, add the onion, chopped.  Saute the onion in the butter until slightly browned or browned to suite your taste.  Add more butter if needed.

Saute one yellow onion in 1 TBSP of butter. Add more if needed. Brown to taste.

4.  Spray a separate large frying pan with Pam cooking spray.  Add in your cooked chicken.  Just before you think the chicken is done, stir in the sauted onion.  Cook a little longer until the chicken is browned to taste. ​

5.  Remove the chicken and onion mixture from heat.  
​6.  Stir in the mixture of soup, sour cream, picante sauce, and salsa.  Stir in 1 cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese.  Add more cheese if you want to.  Stir it all together.

9.  You'll probably have a good bit of the soup mixture left over.  Spread it over the filled tortillas in the baking dish.

Spread any extra soup mixture over the filled tortillas.
