I love chicken enchiladas. They were a meal that my mom, and sisters and I would make when we wanted to make something a little extra special and yummy. I thought I would make a variation of them in the form of Chicken Enchilada Bites and I really love how they turned out. I have made them several times since and my family really enjoys them.
Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Bites
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1 large rotisserie chicken
- 1 can white beans I like the lightly seasoned ones
- 2-4 oz. cans green chiles~ I use both mild, but you can mix and match with the spicy ones if you want
- 1/2 large onion sauteed in 1 Tbs Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- salt to taste
- 1/2 block cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded Jack Cheese
- extra Jack Cheese for the top
Instructions
-
Cut the flour tortillas into 4ths diagonally, so you end up with 24 (pizza slice looking) quarters. Lightly grease your muffin tins and press a tortilla quarter into each individual cup. Set aside.
-
Pull all of the breast meat off of your rotisserie chicken, and place in a large bowl. Refrigerate the rest of your chicken for another meal. Add beans, chiles, sauteed onion, salt and pepper to your bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together sour cream and cream cheese. Add Jack cheese to cream cheese mixture. Add your cream cheese mixture to the chicken mixture and stir.
-
Spoon your enchilada filling into each of your tortillas, distributing evenly. Top with shredded Jack Cheese.
-
Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. remove foil and bake for an additional 13-18 minutes, or until top is golden brown and enchilada bites are heated through.
-
These are great by themselves, or served with green salsa. Enjoy!

Thank You!
So easy to make... I might consider baking in my crock pot in silicone cups to keep the heat out of the kitchen...it is already hot enough here in Galveston, Texas!
