Chicken Ranch Enchiladas

If you're looking for a traditional, Mexican enchilada, well, this is not it. But if you're in the mood for some cheesy goodness that you can pretend is Mexican just for an excuse to eat chips and guac, then you're in luck. This made enough for about 6 servings, so I froze a couple of the enchiladas for later. In fact, I just had some tonight, and they were still tasty as ever, even after being in the freezer for a few weeks

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chilies
  • 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
  • 10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend


  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chiles, and ranch dressing in a bowl; spread a thin layer of the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce into each tortilla; divide the chicken among the tortillas and sprinkle with 3/4 of the cheese. Roll the tortillas into cylinders and place seam-side-down into the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and cook a few more minutes until the cheese melts.
