This enchilada recipe is perfect for a Cinco de Mayo party, a potluck, or an easy family meal. Published back in 2015 on my blog, The Most — of Every Moment, this recipe seems worthy of sharing once again.

Many years ago I got the idea for this dish from a recipe on the side of a bag of Kraft cheese! I have added quite a few more ingredients, and changed the method quite a bit, however, so it now hardly resembles the original recipe. My guests have always enjoyed it — and I hope that you like it as well!

Quick and Easy Chicken Enchiladas

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 cups cooked, cubed chicken*
  • 4 oz can diced green chilies
  • 1 can of refried beans (optional, but these add a nice consistency to the filling)
  • 20 to 24 oz salsa, divided
  • 2 cups shredded cheese -Mexican Four-Cheeses blend or cheddar
  • Approximately eight (8-inch) tortillas
