Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

I made this last night for dinner and it was super good. It is Kristin Burton's recipe from our church cookbook.

2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 large cans of white chicken meat
1 (16oz.) sour cream
1 small can diced chilies
1/2 t. salt
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 chopped green onions
8 lg. flour tortillas

Mix together chicken soup, chicken, 1 3/4 cup sour cream, green chilies, salt, and onions. Soften tortillas in a little oin in a skillet for a few seconds. Drain on a paper towel. Pour a small amount of the filling, just enough to cover the bottom of the 9X13 pan. Fill the tortillas with the filling and some cheese. Roll up and place in pan seam side down. Repeat for remaining tortillas. After all of the enchiladas are assembled, pour the remaining sauce on the top. Top with cheese and remaining sour cream. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

I had never used canned chicken for anything. It was surprisingly good and much faster.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Here's a yummy, easy, festive-looking Christmas side dish, courtesy Paula Deen from Food Network! I took it to my office Christmas party today, and everyone loved it! The saltiness of the pretzel crust, mixed with the melt-in-your-mouth cream cheese/Cool Whip mixture, plus the sweetness of the strawberry mixture, is delicious!

Ingredients
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar, plus 3/4 cup sugar
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping
2 (3-ounce) packages strawberry gelatin dessert mix
2 cups boiling water
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen strawberries
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
Whipped topping or whipped cream, to garnish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. For the crust, mix the pretzels, butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Press this mixture into a 9 by 13-inch pan and bake for 7 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sugar. Fold in the whipped topping, and spread over the cooled crust. Refrigerate until well chilled. In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, and allow to cool slightly. Add the strawberries and pineapple, and pour over the cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until serving time. To serve, cut slices and serve with a dollop of whipped topping.

Next party, I'm bringing stuffed mushrooms, which are lots of fun. I'll post on that next week when I decide what recipe I'm going to use.
