Award Winning! Seriously … I’ve won cooking contests with this recipe.

When I started Thyme to Talk, I wanted a place to include tried and true recipes, ideas and projects. I recently cooked for a leadership retreat for young people leading in High School ministry. For ease, I went back to one of my easiest recipes.  And, I have to say “award winning!” I often cheat a bit and use this recipe for cooking competitions and have won 1st at least half a dozen times.  It tends to be an easy win.  Then I realized, I’ve never posted it.  So here it is …yes it’s a whopping 7 ingredients.

 

Ingredients

 

1 Block of Cream Cheese (full fat, low fat – your choice)
1 Can of Canned Chicken (drained)
1 Tbsp Seasoning (Chicken el pollo or Garlic/Pepper or Cumin/Garlic)
Chopped green onion
1 Can Las Palmas Green Chili Enchilada Sauce (mild or medium)
2-3 Cups Cheese (Mexican 3-Cheese or Cheddar Jack or just Jack)
Flour Tortillas

Directions

  • In a medium bowl drop the block of cream cheese. Microwave for 45sec to soften.  Add can of chicken.  If you want lots of chicken, add two cans. Or you can cook your own and add big chunks. Add spice and green onion and mix.
