WHAT CAN I TOP MY ENCHILADAS WITH?

We love adding a little extra flavor to our enchiladas. I love adding a few more fresh vegetables on top, just to give it that extra kick of flavor. Here are a few of our family’s favorite toppings.

Sliced Olives. We love sliced olives on our enchiladas. If you are short on time, you can even buy them sliced in the can.
Vegetables. We like to put tomatoes, red onion, bell peppers, avocado, corn, etc. If it tastes good on an enchilada, we put it on.
Sauces and Dips. My husband loves to put ranch on his. I go for the guacamole and pico de gallo.

Thank you thank you thank you!! :) I had been thinking about this recipe today! The last time I had these were at your apartment in SLC. I miss those times!!
Kelly says:

If this has cream of chicken soup, it should probably be taken out of the "Vegetarian" section ;/
PrettyPrivleged says:

Yes, I agree it's not really 'vegetarian' I wonder if cream of celery soup would work?

I made this and it was good. But I subbed an 8 oz block of softened cream cheese for the soup. After I rolled my eight tortillas, I had half the mixture left, which was a lot! And one can of enchilada sauce did not fully cover eight tortillas. So, my advice: Use cream cheese instead of soup, buy twice as many tortillas, and three cans of enchilada sauce.
Erika White says:

I was all excited to see this recipe because it said vegetarian. I started reading the recipe and it has cream of chicken in it. This is not a vegetarian dish. Maybe a nacho cheese soap instead?
Six Sisters says:

Yes Yes... I've used a cheese soup before also! It turns out delicious!!!
MindyLou says:

I'd think that cream of onion soup could also be used for a vegetarian version.
Sarah says:

You lost me at the can of soup. Those cans of soup gross me out. I've found a recipe for a homemade version of that and maybe I'll do that instead. Love the beans though! :)
Daniela says:

Could this meal cook on the crock pot or freeze?
Cyd says:

We haven't tried them in the crock pot. They freeze great.
Amy says:

I know this is an old one, but I've been looking for freezer meals before baby comes :)Do you cook it all then freeze, or freeze before the oven? Also, to cook/warm after freezing, should it be thawed first?
Cyd says:

I would prepare the dish as directed but do not bake. Cover well and freeze. Thaw and then bake.
Danielle says:

My husband and I have made this many times and it always turns out great. The last few times we substituted the canned chilis with an oven roasted poblano pepper, used all black beans and substituted the cream of soup with fiesta cheese soup. It's one of my husband's favorite dishes!
Momma Cyd says:

So glad that you and your husband like the enchiladas. They are so easy to make and delicious!!
