Instructions

  • Tips

    • Easy Substitution: You can substitute 3 cans (4.5 ounces each) Swanson® Premium Chunk White Chicken Breast, drained, for the cooked chicken.
  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F.  Spread 1/2 cup picante sauce in the bottom of a greased 3-quart shallow baking dish.

  • Step 2

    Stir 1/2 cup picante sauce, 1/4 cup nacho cheese sauce, chicken and cumin in a bowl.

  • Step 3

    Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas around the filling and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining nacho cheese sauce over the filled enchiladas and spread evenly. Cover the baking dish.

  • Step 4

    Bake for 20 minutes or until the filling is hot.  Spread the remaining picante sauce over the baked enchiladas.  Top with cilantro and green onion.
