Quick Chicken Enchiladas

This time of year tends to get so crazy.  With all the holiday events going on and Christmas preparations, it can be hard to get dinner on the table.

This time it is especially good to have a well stocked “cantry“. I love to rely on mine to help dinner come together in a flash. I can also feel good about what I am serving my family. Did you know that according to a University of California, Davis study, that many canned fruits and vegetables have equal or more nutrients than their fresh or frozen counter parts? The can itself seals in all the natural goodness of the food.

These quick chicken enchiladas are ready in about 30 minutes and only require 6 ingredients including canned green chilies and enchilada sauce. You can swap out the corn tortillas for flour if you prefer.
