Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas

Sunday, May 1, 2022
When you're in the mood for an easy dinner, and want a meal under 35 minutes, try these delicious Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas.

We have made these with all kinds of cooked meats including pork, and ground beef so don't let a chicken filling stop you from trying this delicious recipe!

This all-in-one pan meal is layered with flour tortilla stuffed with a creamy white enchiladas sauce is one of the best-tasting casseroles ever.

This super easy casserole meal can be made ahead of time and just reheated, plus for meal prep, this freezes perfectly for up to 3 months for a quick weeknight dinner.

Another time-saver for the chicken casserole is using easy pre-cooked or store-bought brands however you can also boil, pan fry using a rotisserie, or even a frozen pre-cooked chicken you may like.

We often like to serve these with a side of rice and beans which is a favorite combination with this Mexican-style meal.

We love making this casserole for Cinco de Mayo to celebrate the day.

This makes a big 13 x 9 pan with around 8 large flour tortillas or 6 smaller ones and we usually set up a topping serving bar with all kinds of delicious Mexican ingredients with assorted cheeses, vegetables, salsa, and we have more suggestions below.

You can even make this all vegetarian and not add any meat at all and substitute the meat with black beans, cooked broccoli, cauliflower, or another vegetable that your love with cheese.

The family was amazing on this sauce flavor and it's now a preferred meal over the classic Beef and Red Sauce Enchiladas.

I just love making this recipe for Cinco De Mayo it's just a perfect way to celebrate the day so scroll down to the printable recipe card and check out this easy meal all in one Casserole.

Happy Cinco De Mayo Recipes

For many Americans, Cinco de Mayo means enjoying Mexican food and probably a few margaritas.



But Cinco de Mayo, which means May 5 in Spanish, is probably one of the most misunderstood Mexican holidays.



Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's independence day.



Mexican independence is celebrated on September 16th.



Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French forces of Napoleon III on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla.



In fact, the holiday had its origin more than 50 years after the date associated with the country’s independence.



Here are some great Mexican/American-style recipes we have made through the years in celebration of Cinco De Mayo our family enjoys.
