Wednesday - What's for Dinner? Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas

This week's Wednesday recipe is one many of you have probably made. If you're like me, however, sometimes I just like to get ideas for WHAT to make, because sometimes I forget about recipes I have made in the past!

Also, be sure to check out my "Recipes" tab at the top of the blog for more ideas!

My six year old is pretty picky, so I can adapt this meal by making some cheese quesadillas without going to extra trouble.... seems like whenever we have Mexican food it's always a hit with everyone! I will probably serve it with some corn or green beans and Spanish rice to round out the meal.

Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Shredded Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese, divided
  • 1 cup salsa, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 10 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomatoes, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix chicken, sour cream, 1 cup of the cheese, 1/4 cup of the salsa, the cilantro and cumin until well blended.
  2. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish. Top with remaining 3/4 cup salsa; cover.
  3. Bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with lettuce and tomato just before serving.

I'm linking up for the last Hip Homeschool Hop of 2010 at The Homeschool Chick! Also, I love linking up with Teach Me Tuesday, at A Bokros Kind of Life. Today I wanted to share what my six year old son put in my stocking this year..... it made all of the adjustments, sacrifices, and sometimes difficult days of homeschooling come into sharp focus for me.

As if my day couldn't get any better, my nine year old daughter declared at dinner (when asked by a family member how school was going?) that she "loves to learn and has the best teacher in the world - mommy!" I can't believe I was EVER worried she and I would butt heads and she would probably learn better from "someone else".

When it comes right down to it, the decision to home educate our children was the RIGHT ONE... and it feels good to hear it from my students sometimes, too!
