Speedy Chicken Enchiladas

I just made these for dinner and they are delicious! I am so impressed. 

  •  1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Condensed Cream of Chicken soup or 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup
  1. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken until browned and juice evaporate, stirring often. Add chicken soup and 1/2 cup of salsa. Heat to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  2. Along one side of each tortilla, spread about 1/3 cup of chicken mixture. Roll up each tortilla aaround filling and place seam-side down in 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish.
  3. Mix cheese soup and remaining salsa and pour over enchiladas.
  4. Cover and microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or until hot. 

* Tip: Warm the tortillas for easier handeling. Stack tortillas and wrap in a damp, microwave safe, paper towels. Microwave on HIGH for 15 seconds for 2 tortillas; add 15 seconds to time for every 2 additional tortillas.
