Did you know you can make enchiladas without baking and rolling, dipping making sauce! Why make a big mess?

All you need is a rotisserie chicken from Walmart.

Simply have:

A jar of Conseca cream
A bag of shredded lettuce or fresh spinach
Corn or flour tortillas
Your choice of salsa or pico de gallo
Cheese of choice

Shred the chicken roll your enchiladas
Stuff tortillas with cheese and chicken
Pour queso and microwave for a minute and 50 seconds

If you use corn tortillad you can fry them before rolling

You’re gonna love these quik enchiladas. Top with lettuce, more cheese or pico!

Crunch and queso!

Goes well with rice and beans or by themselves !

In another bowl mix real good the wet ingredients -

Add 3 whole eggs

2 cups of milk (any kind will do)
In a pinch you can use water or cinnamon tea.

Scoop in your mixture. Bake on middle rack for 45 minutes. Let cool in the oven. Then rest on a cutting board before scooping out.
These will store beautifully for a week in the refrigerator or you can freeze in a ziplock for 1 month. Just reheat in the microwave for 50 seconds or let thaw overnight.

For more heirloom flavor a splash of anise water can be added to the mix.
Garnishe with icing, apple bits when baking or a caramel cube at the last 10 minutes of baking!
