[@PaulaDeen]

This is such an easy recipe for a weeknight. What are your go-to easy dinner recipes?

[@monapost5603]

I love your recipe I am a flour tortilla kinda lady. My current favorite make it fast dinner spaghetti with frozen meatballs.

[@4703857]

I make chicken enchiladas with a recipe very similar to this! (I add green chili sauce and jalapenos to it). They freeze well and last for days! But the casserole method might be even better! Thank you for this!

[@aliciagrasso1553]

A favorite for a busy weeknight is sheet pan chicken fajitas! Love it!

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

I, like @Michael Shaffer, have a similar recipe for my rolled chicken enchiladas😁 But I’m gonna try it this way next time😉 Thanks, Paula!!!!!!!! Cherri~❤️

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

@@4703857 Me too🤗 I’m gonna try this one instead of my rolled version next time😉

[@olgasantiago-agirlfriendsguide]

Mrs. Paula, thank you for doing these videos. You've been with me all year now that I've been in bed struggling to heal from covid. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine in my days. May the Lord bless you and your family always!💖🌞🌴🙏

[@hootowlholler3760]

How can you taste food right out of the oven like that? My goodness! Eddie can pause the video until the food cools for you to taste it. Please think about it.❣

[@carolinecross3756]

Ouch !😋

[@ckrtom2]

Right! It's so annoying.

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

I must admit...I agree!!!!!

[@blondeenigma3882]

I've seen this made with enchilada sauce added also to make it creamier, and the tortillas cut to smaller pieces and stirred in to the mixture. Either way looks yummy.

[@sandrachavarria9688]

Yes, so easy

[@stokely418]

I thought the same thing about adding enchilada sauce! Yum 😋

[@adriennefein2284]

Ms Paula you’ve made another wonderful recipe & it looks so yummy 😋💝. Everything you make is Delicious and so satisfying. I don’t know Miss Paula everything you make is so great

[@debbierothwell1846]

I love you so much ❤️ I missed you on the food Network I'M glad we get to on U-tube.

[@tamiweber7118]

Try to layer the tortillas on the bottom first and the the sides this should help.

[@ckincade9158]

We make a simple similar recipe called King Ranch chicken but we ALWAYS use corn tortillas. Paula grosses me out with so many things she does....it's hard to watch. I would toss food that fell on my counter. I would set my spoon on a spoon rest. I've seen in other videos where she taste and uses same spoon to stir and serve😬😳

[@AndtherewasJoy13]

I feel sorry for you. Your vanity & ego are what grosses you out. How about come off that pedestal of yours. It's not attractive, and certainly not gonna win you friends or influence people. That's all.

[@rosedolch8637]

I make this same recipe except I just stuff 6 shells instead of cutting them up..top with reserved sauce and cheese the same way

[@carolpreisinger2616]

Not enough cheese..I'd add another cup

[@Muslimaviation888]

Your the queen ,, thanks

[@christinapruitt2919]

Can we see what Eddie looks like😀

[@beverlyjohnson1256]

Where is the enchilada sauce?😮

[@cassiegirl77]

This looks so good and so easy! I was thinking it would be good if you added some enchilada sauce to the mixture as well.

[@sandrachavarria9688]

I add a lil milk to the mixture

[@dontforget7590]

Yes some enchilada sauce...

[@lorijackson4355]

the green one!

[@sharonwrijil5899]

Salsa

[@tamihunt3659]

What kind of cheese sauce or soup was that?

[@begayarlinda7290]

For an "enchilada casserole", my late mother would say, use corn tortillas. If you use flour tortillas it turns the dish into a "burrito casserole". I find the tortilla method turns out to be crispy on the edges and soggy in the middle and bottom and have less flavor than with corn tortillas. Using corn tortillas, a lil tip, spread a little of the mixture on bottom of pan before layering the corn tortillas. I put cheese on top of each layer, as well. So I do corn tortilla, chicken mix, cheese, corn tortilla, etc. HUGE TIP, if you can get a hold of some New Mexican green chili, preferably Hatch, it will make all the difference.

[@Desertthorn11]

I used corn and it was awesome. But I'm not a fan of flour tortillas.

[@scruffy281]

Corn, Corn, Corn for enchiladas!!! For sure. But Burrito casserole is a better term.❤️👍🏻And Yes, HATCH chilis are the bomb!! YUMMMMMM!!!

[@karenvalenzuela2277]

Yes, that’s how we do it in Tucson!!!

[@jarendagarner9488]

Is there suppose to be sauce in the recipe?

[@sherricox875]

Old

[@Elizabeth-lj1vm]

PLEASE!! Cut away, let the dish cool and then Paula could taste. Love the videos!

[@Lea941]

No!No! Not flour tortillas! Use corn tortillas!! The flour tortillas will get soggy and be like dough!! And the taste of the corn tortillas is incredible in this recipe!!

[@jak30341]

She said she preferred flour tortillas but I’m going to try it with corn tortillas to see how I like. I know corn tortillas are more traditional. Being a white man from the south I have a feeling I’m going to prefer my corn tortillas as “chips”with salsa on the side but I’m going to try it. ✌🏻

[@stacey5925]

I agree. I've made this before and the flour tortillas were "raw and wet, dough like". It ruined the dish. Corn tortillas have more flavor and will withstand without becoming a wet doughy mess.

[@melmel4712]

I think it works with flour tortillas IF you toast them up first & get some char on them, either in a frying pan or on a comal.

[@stacey5925]

@@melmel4712 Maybe, but no flavor at all in flour tortillas. If you follow the recipe as Paula demo'd, I think you will end up with a soggy, pasty mess. Just my opinion, and from my experience having made this before.

[@melmel4712]

@@stacey5925 yes, Paula's recipe will definitely be soggy!

[@tammym110]

That looks so good. I’m so glad you are on you tube. I love watching you cook and tell stories.

[@sapphireblue222]

When I saw you were going to put that molten hot food in your mouth, I was yelling-"No Paula! Don't do it!!!" :)

[@janetclassen1144]

I was yelling, don’t do it, are you 🥴 drunk

[@Lisa-hm6ou]

Corn tortillas are the only one's I use to cook with because it just packs in so much flavor. And not soggy.

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

It’ll taste great with corn tortillas too!!! Yummy 😋

[@cherrinagoodacre4193]

You’re definitely right Lisa

[@Traveladdict704]

Less carbs too

[@melmel4712]

Looks delicious! I make something similar but we bump up the flavor because we LOVE spicy. I add ancho chili powder, chipotle chili powder, oregano & smoked paprika. I also add roasted poblanos, garlic, onions & mushrooms. If I end up using flour tortillas I ALWAYS toast them up first, on a comal or in a frying pan to get some char on them & take off that "raw" taste. Some black beans, cilantro....ooooh I'm HUNGRY now!

[@revn2go]

can someone tell me why Paula is no longer taping from her home?

[@LiberaceProtege]

I SO MUCH enjoy each of your videos. Much appreciation to Teresa, Eddie and yourself!!!

[@southerngirl7425]

😋 Whoelse can't wait until 7am for each new video? 😁 👏 Thx Ms Paula and team....another delicious recipe 👏 ♥ 😘

[@paulandbenny]

Yes! We look forward to them every day.👍

[@theresagraham5893]

I love mexican food and live in New Mexico. Chicken enchiladas to us is about the green chilli and corn tortillas. So many ways to make it. I use green chili enchilada sauce instead of chicken soup but still add a little for the kids. Its incredible with cream cheese in it too. Black olives and onion bits at the top. Yum

[@sapphireblue222]

Your recipe sounds so good!

[@tamelanelson1667]

Hi Paula, my mother in-law gave me this recipe way back in the day. It was called Chicken Chalupas. We used huge can cream of chicken soup and 16 oz sour cream and 3 to 4 cups of chicken and 2 cups cheese. Mixed all sour cream, soup, green chilies and cheese place in bowl, split in half. Mix other half with chicken, stuff like burrito in flour shells, top with the other half mixture of the left over sour cream, soup mixture and add green onions and paprika on top. But I think this would be good with 8 oz of sour cream instead of 16 oz. very rich and filling and so good! Take care💖👍💖

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

I've made recipes using tortillas as a base, the key to keeping the tortillas from slipping around is, coat the pan with butter, not cooking spray,.

[@jeanne1271]

I add a 1/2 can enchilada green sauce and one block softened cream cheese,

[@heidid5275]

Dogonit Paula!! You're gonna burn every tastebud you got!!! Don't do that!! You needed a margarita to cool down your mouth. It did make me giggle, though. 😘

[@ckrtom2]

Eh, I'm sure it's fine, but clumsy is all that comes to mind here...Clumsy concept, clumsy recipe, clumsy execution, clumsy Paula, clumsy video...You know something is amiss when Paula's doing lots of "aaaalright"s lol

[@debbiewestphal4291]

I cannot wait to see you back in your own special kitchen again Paula. That is where I know you best!!!.💕💕 I am so excited. I just can’t wait to see how you updated it. Any idea how much longer it will take. Love you girl. 🥰🥰👍😁❤️💕

[@conniem5053]

Eddie ! Pause the video so Paula don’t burn her mouth 😊

[@tammiemiller8272]

Looks delicious I made this recipe using corn tortillas also did a hamburger recipe like this also but use a sour cream and cream cheese mixture with green onions and Colby Jack cheese it was delicious to thanks for sharing take care 💯💜

[@sharonm.8411]

Can you expound a bit more about this hamburger version you made? Sounds promising...

[@veronicajean3612]

More cheese on top😜 I actually blew on it for you Paula..involuntary like I made this. I added refried beans and salsa was good and easy

[@wendygreen5304]

I'm so glad to come across your videos ! You were always my favorite to watch on television! I'm definitely a fan and will be binge watching all your videos

[@DeniseWalker-h8y]

Yum! I would use Corn tortillas. I think I'll take this to our Women's Ministry Cinco de Mayo party. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@apmarin]

Delicious! I was laughing so hard at the end! Hope you didn’t burn your mouth too badly!

[@beckyfarmer5394]

You could use corn tortillas and enchilada sauce

[@tmcginnis21144]

Omg I thought the dish was headed for the sink too.

[@wendyzanders7284]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. THAT CASSEROLE LOOKS SO GOOD.

[@SheilaTacheny]

To make that sauce not so thick add a half a can of green enchadia sauce with ur mix

[@allentrice1703]

Oh my goodness gracious to me! I love about you and your chicken enchiladas... from the south?! Thanks to you and your recipe! 🐓🌽🍅

[@JennY-ki6sj]

Whipping Cream..It needs about 3/4cup to 1 cup of whipping cream at the end to make it creamy good mmm.Remember..whipping cream is a chef's secret

[@elizabethperimontclason3242]

My grandma always had too many kids around to cut tortillas lol.. she just ripped open a bag of Doritos instead of messing with cutting anything and any left out of that party size bag we got to chase each other and fuss over getting a whole chip haha good times

[@mariamiranda7574]

Watched the video and realized I had all the ingredients to make it. It was so easy to make and tastes delicious. Thank you!!

[@alicehathaway1377]

I love you bPaula and would never question any of your recipes. But you can tell that you are not from Texas! More spice and cheese and corn tortillas! Sorry!

[@tmcginnis21144]

I have made that before and I add salsa to the soup mixture.Thank you enjoy!!💐

[@sweethomealabama1369]

Good Morning Y'all... Chicken enchiladas is so good.I want SOME....NOW😋😁. Ok m seeing what my supper will be now guys. Have a wonderful day and week ahead love you all ♥️

How can u call it an enchilada without any enchilada sauce

[@lananeedham]

I'm a huge fan. Thanks for this.

[@cynthiacummings0917]

Good morning & Happy Sunday Ms Paula and friends!!!!!🌻🌞

[@josephdennison4890]

Paula I'm still in love with you !

[@meghoughton562]

So did Paula move? 🤔 Missing that old kitchen...😌

[@gcs1432]

Traditionally enchiladas are made with red corn tortillas. However, always cook what is most loved in your home. If Paula prefers flour over corn then so be it. 😊💌👍

[@collenrose3957]

Paula, you had my mouth watering as you were taking a bite & stabbing for the little that got away! Thank you for that recipe.🌈🙏🌈

[@shareejacobs6434]

Paula you are so down to earth and natural! I love it! Looks good! God bless!

[@1Corinthians15_1-4]

Salvation is easy but ‘religion’ complicates it. God deserves all the glory, honour and power!! God, manifest in the flesh, bore the sins of the whole world to save us all from going to hell. Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. BELIEVE from your heart in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary and get saved now, before it’s too late for your soul. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - Ephesians 1:13 Ephesians 2:8-9 - [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Lost souls, please get saved now, time is running out. Heaven and Hell are REAL, LITERAL places. There’s a ONLY 1 eternity to choose from - choose wisely for your souls.

[@Grudgorean]

Love you Paula! started watching you more when I got married to a man with kids ! your the best! Thanks for sharing!!Melissa xxxoooo!!!!!

Looks good Paula I been making this for well over thirty some years we call it an enchilada pie🙏🏼😇👍👌💯🌹

[@ginasellers3207]

This looks delicious and simple. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us Miss Paula.

[@AndtherewasJoy13]

Watching our beloved Paula Deen take a bite of this casserole as hot as it was made me wonder why her cameraman didn't work a little Hollywood magic and stop filming for the ten minutes needed to allow said casserole to cool. Next time, then. Lots of love to Ms. Paula

[@GurmeetKitchenvlog]

You are so lovely 👌

[@tammyhanson7843]

Hello miss Paula, I'm an avid fan and you are a hoot and a half. I have a huge request. The. Kneady HOMESTEADER channel needs prayers and for your subscribers to visit her channel. She and her husband and 2 youngest children went out on February 13 for an early valentines dinner. They were struck head on by a drunk driver and killed daddy instantly. I realize this is not a normal comment, but KZbin family is family. Mom nearly lost her life too and the 2 young children sustained broken limbs. If you feel you need to delete this do so. Many thanks to anyone who visits Heathers channel 😞

[@ampa4989]

Paula, you're so nuts putting that in your mouth! But looks tasty.

[@esthergriffin414]

I just love your program. I've been watching you for years. miss you on tv. i went to your store in Gatlinburg and bought a few things. I'm so glad you're still cooking on U-tube. tzke care and God bless.

[@conniem5053]

Wonder how long til Paula will be back in her own home kitchen? Have they updated us on the progress and I missed it?

[@salamarinita]

I would just call this a chicken tortilla casserole. I don't find anything Mexican about this. Flour tortillas would never be used this way in casual or refined Mexican cooking. I like the ideas of people to add various ingredients. Personally I cannot stand cream of chicken soup.

[@annabellmolina-muniz2344]

Sorry ... That's not the way you make Green chili chicken enchiladas. Not our way anyway... You use corn tortillas cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup, garlic a lot of green chili.. no sour cream .. No cumin , you need to eat our Enchiladas from New Mexico... Green and red enchiladas...

[@lisamedlin96]

U can add beef and shrimp and saute onion mushrooms bell peppers. U can also use Velveeta cheese product. So unhealthy, but if u r feeding a very large crowd and everyone takes a small portion well. Indulgence is ok in small portions. Side note: do not saute the mushrooms before adding to the casserole, they will be rubbery. A can of Rotel type tomatoes with chilies instead of just green chillies.

[@jonathanwilson2109]

Good morning Paula I would love to try this thank you for doing this I've never tried chicken casserole with enchiladas

[@kristyhenry7780]

Yum yum yum! I would add some jalapenos.

[@lisamedlin96]

U can make this same dish with Tater tots too. Make sure they r the name brand ones tho. Cheap off brand won't have the right flavor, nor crispy texture. And add one can of chicken stock and ricotta cheese. I personally would double the filling for this casserole especially if u use flour or corn tortillas.

[@loriwilson7053]

Oh my I just love your realness you are classic and timeless 😍

[@sheilaschnee9444]

Please don’t burn yourself for us…do a time out in filming while it cools. I was wincing the whole time because I’ve burnt myself more than once doing that. I am however, very anxious to taste it for myself…love you Paula.

[@juanitaproctor1938]

Awww Mrs Paula Dean, I feel so bad that you took that bite, as hot as it was!! I could see the heat coming off of it!! It looks very delicious!! 😋

[@6996katmom]

Looks great, but where are the tomatoes? Another great dish is King Ranch Chicken. I use corn chips or Fritos instead of tortillas. Love to see you make that. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day.

[@kareng3847]

No enchilada sauce?

[@aaronmoon7496]

If you want a homemade South Texas easy enchilada sauce for enchiladas. Hit me up be more then happy to share same goes for some good crispy tacos quick and simple.

[@pay4fish]

Paula, What you fo for your subscribers!! Eating that casserole when it was wsy to hot!! We could still see the steam coming out, hotta hotta!!!

[@RocksterFan]

Corn tortillas are a must for enchiladas...casseroles or otherwise. Everyone who cooks knows that flour tortillas get doughy and nasty.

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

Leave the tortillas whole, so they line the pan better!

[@deloresmendoza7674]

yes that's what I do!!

[@debraholmes2854]

lol….yes even in Richmond hill we have several restaurants and they are always busy. Especially on cinco de mayo

[@kathleennorton7913]

Can you use corn shells? I really like them best. If they're processed with a trace of lime, the mineral, they are nutritious, too.

[@millicentwhitten4561]

followed your directions and we did not like it. I think it may have been the cumin or the amount of the cumin.

[@lauratohome]

Paula make a plant based enchilada please vegan cheese and mushrooms, onions,and cilantro,with tomato verde sauce.no oil please.

[@helenhurley834]

Can this recipe be cut in half? It just my husband and myself and this recipe looks so tasty..

[@MariaRomero-rc7vp]

Uh NO!!! This is not how you make a green chili enchilada casserole and most restaurants use corn tortillas for their enchiladas

[@deb6061]

Paula....you crack me up!!! LOL By the way....you look lovely today!!! :)

[@lindamcneely]

I was sooooooo upset you had my mouth watering and by the time i finally got to the page with the recipe there was so much advertisement flashing at me I never did get it!

[@Randy8923]

Looks delicious! I love the green chilis in Mexican foods. Enjoyed.

[@kayesue1]

Try bueno frozen green Chile. People, canned diced green chiles are not good. They’re like bell pepper. Do the frozen, & you can get mild to extra hot & it’ll give you lots of flavor.

[@katherinehayes9110]

I have canned chicken.could canned chicken drained be used?? I need some recipes to use for this canned chicken!!

[@ellencarter4360]

This looks really good. I'm for sure gonna try it. Personal question pretty Paula - I just love the lipstick you have on - could you share the brand and color? I'll be your best friend! ❤💋😘

[@nancyevans822]

Yes, I’d like to know also! Beautiful shade.

[@lindabranum6686]

More cheese for me. I just don’t want the flour tortillas to get hard!,,,

[@j.a.whittler6983]

I'm curious...but how do you keep the flour tortillas from becoming too soggy? When I make casseroles like this the tortillas become unpleasant by the soggyness. I have even tried baking for less time like 15 minutes. After the casserole cools it's still too soggy for me.

[@bsimon8652]

Use corn instead

[@mybostonlife.8682]

Paula you are so cute! Thank you for sharing!!! Yummy 🤤

[@curtisalphin8251]

It is more delicous if you use half a can of cream chivken soup and half of the sour cream.

[@chefshep65]

I love your cooking but these are dry and not made quite right.

[@karenries8960]

You're so funny!

[@lisagialucci2296]

Please don’t burn your mouth tasting the foods - it scares me 💛

why does my pyrex dish always have burn marks on it???
