Chicken Enchiladas are creamy and cheesy. The other day I cooked a turkey breast and I had some left over. So tonight when I got home from work, I hurried and put these chicken enchiladas together. I love how fast I had dinner on the table. They were so quick and easy.
I put a salad with them and dinner was perfect. You can add some salsa if you wanted to make it just a little spicier. I think that the jalapenos make them just right.

So I decided to work as a school days mom at a amusement park that is close to me so that I could get some passes to play this summer. The first thing that I discovered was that it wasn’t as easy as it was 10 years ago and the other thing is that I do not know where the days go.
It seems like I get up, go to work, come home, eat, and go to bed. I really don’t know how I use to have 5 kids at home and work. I do know that I use to get more done than I do now though. But it has been fun working with some other women who are doing the same thing. We are busy and when we go home we are good and tired!
What is an Enchilada?
- An enchilada is a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a savory sauce.
- Enchiladas can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including various meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, and vegetables.
I get to work in a place called Swig, and we sell pop with different flavors that you can add. We also sell cookies. Let me tell you those cookies sure look good. But I am not going to buy any because as soon as I do, I would want one every day. That is not a good idea. I did try one of the pops that had Sprite, peach flavoring and some coconut cream. Now that was good.
Also they are making a new candy shop and I got to go fill candy bins today. That was a lot of fun, and I am glad that I am not working there or my dentist bill would be very high!!!
What is the Difference Between Flour and Corn Tortillas?
Flour Tortillas:
So if you ask me if I am going to do it again next year? I will tell you the answer is no!! I keep telling myself that I am 30 years old, but my body keeps telling me that I am not telling the truth. Ha ha.
I read a saying that “having an imagination is more important than knowledge”. I say good, I will keep trying to have a better imagination, and one of these days when I wake up I will be able to jump out of bed instead of roll out. That is because I will keep imagining it! How about you try it and let me know if your imagination is better than mine.
Now imagine making these delicious chicken enchiladas. I know that you will be glad that you did, and your family will love you for it too. That is if they stick around long enough to eat it. I made mine and by the time I was finished, two of them had gotten away. Well, I guess they know what they are eating for dinner tomorrow. Ha ha. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks once again for stopping by and for taking the time to comment!! It is true that the stock market did well last year but unfortunately, this year has been the disaster that was predicted so last August, I moved most of my 401K out into and annunuity that will start paying me when I retire at 62. I recently took out almost all of the remaining money and put it into an IRA because I am not going to gamble it on the stock market this close to retirement as this year is not a very good year for the markets….. And it is predicted to do worse….So I can at least breathe easy now that y money is safe no matter what happens…..
Hugs,
Deb
You are absolutely right. It is a great feeling to be able to feel safe. It sounds like you planned ahead well for your retirement and deserve to be secure. It sounds like you may have some health issues but I hope that you are able to enjoy your retirement. Thank you for coming by.
Mmmm! I love creamy enchiladas. I need to come visit you and swig! I have heard so much about it and the famous cookies!!!
Thank heavens I am through with my job at Swig (and the Amusement Park). I’m hoping to enjoy a few trips to the park to at least float the Lazy River with my passes that I earned! The cookies at Swig looked so good – I am so impressed with myself that I didn’t eat one of those cookies while I was working there. I am going to try to make some of them though. I did give in and drink a drink that someone ordered and then didn’t want. It was a good experience overall. It looks like your brother’s wedding was so much fun.
I feel like you are my long lost sister because I just made a similar dish hahaha. Love easy meals like these!!
I would love to be your sister, the only problem with us is that we are go, go, go! I guess that is why people get older!! So that we can all slow down. Enjoy your summer, and thank you for stopping by!XXOO
I’ve never made chicken enchiladas before but this sure sounds delicious! It also sounds like you’ve been busy working. I’m sure your kids will enjoy their amusement park passes & they sure are lucky to have such a lovely mom to do that for them.
Thank you Cassie! I love how fast they work up. I think that the amusement park will be a lot of fun. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for stopping by!XOXO
