  • 6 green onions, chopped, including green tops
  • 20-24 flour tortillas (7 inch diameter) I use 8 large tortillas
  • 2 10 oz. cans enchilada sauce

Directions

  3. Combine the chicken cream cheese, soup, chilies and green onions

  4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of this mixture onto each tortilla and roll up

  5. Pour a very small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of casserole dish and tilt the dish so that the sauce covers the bottom

  6. Place the enchiladas side by side on top of the sauce

  7. When all of the enchiladas have been rolled and placed in the dishes, take the remaining enchilada sauce and pour it over the top of the enchiladas

  8. Combine the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses and sprinkle evenly over the casseroles

  9. Cover the dishes with foil and back for 30 minutes

  10. Uncover and bake for 10 more minutes

  11. To serve cut between enchiladas and serve from the dish.

  12. Have bowls of sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and salsa for garnish
