Chicken burrito enchiladas. I am so excited to be partnering with Sabra Hummus today and to share one of Kevin's new favorite quick and easy dinners. :) He requests this one just about every week! I think rice and chicken enchiladas are his two favorite foods ever. Delicious and simple Green Chili Chicken Burritos are a great weeknight dinner made with diced chicken, cream cheese, and canned green chili enchilada sauce.

The wet burrito sauce is a variation of the one I do for my Turkey Black Bean Enchilada Bake (and for all my enchiladas) but this time I went green. Cheesy Smothered Chicken Burritos are one of my favorite meals. The family loves them, and they are simple to assemble. You can have Chicken burrito enchiladas using 9 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Ingredients of Chicken burrito enchiladas

1. You need of Mexican.
2. Prepare 1 lb of boneless skinless chicken breast cut into one inch pieces.
3. Prepare 2 cup of instant rice.
4. You need 1 can of red kidney beans.
5. You need 1 lb of frozen or canned corn.
6. Prepare 1 can of enchilada sauce.
7. Prepare 12 oz of mexican style bagged cheese.
8. Prepare 1/2 cup of ranch dressing.
9. Prepare 1 packages of flour tortillas.

Roll up into burritos, and place seam side down in baking dish. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. In fact, the spicy addition is right there in the name, as enchilada is the past participle of Spanish enchilar, which literally means "to season (or decorate) with chili." Red enchilada sauce is most common, but green enchilada sauce, based on tomatillos, is a worthy option too.
