I’ve decided to share another of my “You know it has to be easy if I’m willing to make it” Recipes with you. Although I prefer to let someone else do the cooking, This may be the easiest of all recipes.
Here is an Easy Chicken Enchiladas recipe that a friend of mine shared with me and I’ve made it regularly ever since. One reason I love this recipe is it freezes so well. Since it’s just my husband and myself, it’s expensive to cook a meal that you can’t finish. When I prepare this recipe, I am preparing 4 meals at one time. YAY!!!
Heat Ingredients
Begin by heating the cream cheese, salsa and beans until cream cheese is smooth. Then add the shredded chicken to the mixture.
Once the mixture is hot place approximately two large scoops of mixture on tortilla and roll.

Freeze the Rest
Once I have enough for one dinner in the baking dish, I wrap the remaining enchiladas, without the cheese on top, in aluminum foil and freeze. Since there are only two of us, I place two enchiladas in each package. I use a sharpie to identify the package and reminder to add cheese topping.
Serve
I like to serve these Easy Chicken Enchiladas with sour cream and my homemade avocado salsa recipe. A small salad also is delicious with these Easy Enchiladas.
Perfect for a Meal for two
When you are ready to serve your frozen meals, just thaw, add cheese and bake. This tasty dish is just as yummy after being frozen as it is when made fresh.
