Cheese-Wrapped Chicken Enchilada on plate with sour cream & olivesThis is a take on chicken enchiladas that's great for cheese lovers, or those looking for a low carb dish. It knocks out the use of tortillas altogether and uses pan melted cheese that solidifies enough to use as a wrapper. The texture is absolutely dreamy, with little crispy edges of cheese. Fun and tasty!

I learned from a dear friend how to make these years ago. The combination of cheeses is great and I love most on the corn tortillas.

Mix chicken, 1/2 can undiluted soup, chilies, sour cream, and only 1/2 each of cheese. Roll a good portion in each tortilla and secure with a toothpick.
