The other day my daughter B wanted to make dinner and I had enchiladas on the menu and I was not feeling her helping (you know how that is sometimes). The chicken still needed to be cooked and if I am being honest it was still frozen at 3:30...yikes. So here is what I did to make a quick easy dinner that my 9 year old made all by herself (minus the chicken) and I need to be better about taking pictures in the moment.
1 1/2 chicken breast in a pot of boiling water until cooked.
Remove from pan and cut into tiny cube pieces. Season to your liking. I went mild because my kids are pretty bland eaters. I went with some salt and pepper only. You could use chili powder, garlic, and don't forget the cumin.
Here is where B took over.
Dip the tortillas in a bowl of Enchilada sauce and place on a cutting board.
Using the back of a spoon spread a layer of refried beans down the middle of the tortilla.
Sprinkle a layer of chicken down the middle.
Roll up and put in a greased casserole pan.
Repeat until all tortillas are gone.
Sprinkle any chicken you did not use over the top of the enchiladas.
Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly.
Serve and enjoy with the rest of your family and a very proud 9 year old. :)
