Chicken Enchiladas

So this picture isn't really how they look but everyone uses enchilada sauce and this recipe doesn't. You would be lucky to even find enchilada sauce in my town.  When we head across the border we stock up on enchilada sauce but I use it for my smothered burritos..which is super easy and I will post that recipe as well. But for this one I use salsa and it is so easy and so yummy! I got the recipe out of a family cookbook and I'm not sure where she got the recipe from or if she created it. It's one of my family's favorites though. 

Ingredients

2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups finely chopped, precooked chicken
1 1/2 cups salsa 
1/2 pkg brick cream cheese
2 Tbsp margarine
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp onion salt
 8 small flour tortillas
(I usually double everything and use 6 large flour tortillas)

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt margarine with onion salt in large skillet. Stir in chicken and 1/4 cup of the salsa. Add cream cheese and cumin. Stir until melted. Remove from heat. Add 1 cup of the cheese. Spoon equal amounts of the mixture onto the tortillas. Roll and place in non-greased baking dish with the seam side down (I usually put some salsa on the bottom) Top with remaining salsa and cheese. Bake for 20 mins. Serve with sour cream or our favorite is jalapeno sauce on top! Yum!
