Chicken Enchiladas

My friend taught me to make these years ago when our children were still small. Our families both just love them! I do not put in the jalapeno peppers, as we think they are too hot.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. margarine
  • 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp. milk
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 oz. sour cream
  • 5-6 jalapeno peppers, chopped and seeded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 Tbsp. pecans

Directions:

Saute onion and 1/4 cup pecans in margarine until onion is tender and pecans are lightly toasted. Remove from heat. Combine next 4 ingredients. Add to nut mixture and chicken. Stir well until combined. Spoon about 1/3 chicken mixture onto each tortilla near one edge. Roll up and place, seam-side down, in greased 9x13 inch baking pan.

Combine soup, 1 cup milk, sour cream, and peppers; pour evenly over tortillas in pan. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through. Remove foil. Sprinkle enchiladas with cheese and 2 tablespoons of pecans. Return to oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
