Chicken Enchiladas

Wow... sorry I went MIA... life is a little crazy right now. It comes in waves, lately I've been super busy, but I think I see it chilling out a bit... I think. Unfortunately, I have done basically 0 baking :( .

This is Dads- with salsa and peppers on top... i used sour cream

I did make my version of my dad's famous Chicken Enchiladas, I think his recipe came from the Members Mark chicken breasts in a can.

Note: these are not 8 inch tortillas - they are much bigger burrito size - we only fit 5 in a pan

4- pour whipping cream over top ( dad only bought a small thing of it, but it gave me 2 cups, and it seemed to work fine)

5- bake for 45 mins at 350 degrees

6- sprinkle cheese on top with ten minutes remaining

yum-o

These were really good, very cheesy - I let dad help me and we loaded it up... but cheesy is good. I want to try them again with smaller tortillas - i liked the cheese in the middle too :-D This was a good and easy dinner.
