SHORTCUT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the beans, oregano and 1 cup cheese in a bowl. Add the chicken, season with pepper and stir until evenly combined.
• Stir the salsa together with 1 cup water in a bowl, then transfer 1 cup to cover the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stack the tortillas, wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, about 15 seconds.
• Arrange the tortillas on a workspace, then divide the chicken filling among the tortillas (about 1/4-cup filling per tortilla). Roll the tortillas up like a cigar, then transfer them to the baking dish seam-side down, positioning the rolls so that the dish is filled evenly. Press the rolls gently with your hands so they begin to soak the sauce up. Pour the remaining salsa mixture over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups cheese.
• Bake the enchiladas until the cheese melts and the enchiladas are hot in the center, about 30 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream and pickled jalapenos.

Steps:

• Go ahead and heat your oven to 350°F MIX salsa and cream of chicken soup together in a bowl. In another bowl, mix chicken, taco seasoning, cheese, veggies if using, sour cream and ¼ cup of your salsa/soup mixture together until consistent. FILL the center of each tortilla and roll up. Place the rolled up tortillas in your baking dish (I use a 9 x 13) with the exposed edge side down. Pour your salsa/soup mixture on top making sure to spread it over all the tortilla bits so they don't get crunchy. Top with more cheese if desired. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
