How to Make Philadelphia Chicken Enchiladas

  1. In a saucepan over low heat, combine 1.5 lbs cooked chicken (shredded), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 8 oz cream cheese (softened), and 1/2 cup salsa. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  2. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each of 6-8 large flour tortillas.
  3. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a lightly greased 12x8 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate saucepan over low heat, combine 8 oz velveeta cheese (cubed or shredded) and 1/4 cup milk. Stir until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  6. Lightly spray the underside of a piece of aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray and cover the baking dish.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and bubbly.
  8. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup salsa over the top of the enchiladas.
  9. Serve immediately with sour cream, extra salsa, and tortilla chips.
