Easy Chicken Enchilada Recipe

Easy Chicken Enchilada Recipe

Easy Chicken Enchilada Recipe So the other day I was thinking about doing some sort of enchilada dish for Frugal Living Mom. I first thought about an easy sort of layer casserole, which would be great and easy.

But then I came up with these Easy Chicken Enchilada Cups.

I think they are very cute and super kid friendly (and freezer friendly). I hope you like them.. make sure to let me know if you try them out!

*you can use regular sized tortillas, too, you will just need to trim them to fit in the cups

Also, a canned green or red enchilada sauce would be good in the recipe, too. Omit the homemade entirely and add about 1 1/4 cups sauce to the chicken.

    You really should advertise this as gluten free! I plan on making this tomorrow for my family with the green sauce. Yum!
