We had these yummy White Chicken Cheesy Enchiladas for dinner last night and they were fantastic! I paired them with some Steamfresh brown rice from last week’s Publix sale and a salad, and my husband even took some leftovers to work for lunch today.
Because the Old El Paso Kits are BOGO at Publix this week, you can get a great deal on all your favorite Mexican foods this week. And while I hate to not use the all the food in the Meal Kits, it seems the best price on tortillas consistently is on this type of kit, not the pouches of tortillas sold individually. So, I usually just save the seasoning mixes for some chicken tortilla soup, and enjoy the cheap tortillas while they’re on sale! If you have any other suggestions on what to do with the seasoning packets included, I’d love to hear them.

Hi, how much flour is added to the melted butter?
probably the 3 tbls she mentions in the check list!
Yes – 3 tablespoons flour is right ~ hope that helps Natalie!
If you were like me, I didnt see the amount of flour in the ingredients list, but after making it and commenting, I see it on the check list, lol. Yummy! Eating it now.
I use the seasoning packets to make layer dip (mixing the seasoning into the beans, then layering, salsa (sometimes from packets in those kits too), sour cream, shredded cheese, tomatoes, green onion, olives) Also, for making taco salad meat – I make the taco meat, and put over salad greens, crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese and your favorite taco salad veggies – top with a southwest ranch or thousand island dressing.
Those ideas sound delicious Kristin ~ thanks so much for sharing!
Trying this out tonight! I can’t wait!
I hope you all enjoy it Cassie ~ let me know!
Silly question–but does it taste like sour cream? My husband does not like sour cream by itself, but in many recipes you can’t taste it. It looks delicious!
I couldn’t taste it at all, so I don’t think it’ll bother him. Hope that helps (I’m thinking you’ll like it!)
I just posted about this meal on the other page. Now I see the amount of flour… Thanks again, its yummy.
Just finished eating, and it was enjoyed by the whole family! Thanks so much for the recipe! Will add this to my recipe box! I added refried beans since I was just over two cups of chicken. Extremely good! Thanks Laurie!
Yay! So glad you all liked it – hope your family had a wonderful Easter!
