  Aug 12
  I have been writing this blog for nearly 3 1/2 years now. I could go back and count how many recipes are on here, but that might take me awhile. 3 1/2 years worth of recipes is a lot of recipes. But do you know what?? I still get nervous when someone says they have tried one or are going to try one of the recipes I’ve posted. I’m afraid other people won’t like them. I guess I need a little self confidence – because really – I don’t even write my own recipes. If someone doesn’t like it, it’s not really my fault, is it?? I guess it is, though, because I recommended the recipe. Regardless, I still get nervous sometimes.

  But then there are blogs like Cassie’s. I’ve been reading her blog for awhile now, and it’s kind of funny how many of the same recipes we have tried. I’ll get on to read her blog and I’ll have to smile when I see some of the same recipes I’ve made – I’m pretty sure we’d get along great in real life because we have such a similar taste in food! Hers is a blog I can go to and I know I will find something that I will love – like these enchiladas. When I saw her post these, I thought to myself that it had been awhile since I had made enchiladas, and then that’s all I wanted. I finally got around to making this recipe, and I’m happy to say that Cassie did not let me down! I actually have an enchilada recipe kind of similar to this that I used to make quite often, but I loved how this one had corn in it. We all know I’ve been on a corn kick lately!! I’m always happy to find a blog that I know I can trust and who’s recipes will always turn out wonderful!

  Do you have a blog who’s recipes you make often?

  Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas
  from Cassie Craves (who slightly adapted it from On My Menu)

  serves 4

  total time: about 45 minutes (if your chicken is already cooked)

  5 ounces cream cheese, softened

  1/4 cup sour cream

  2 cups prepared salsa

  1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese, divided
  2 cups cooked shredded chicken

  1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

  1/2 teaspoon chili powder

  1/4 teaspoon cumin
  Salt and pepper
  4 scallions, thinly sliced

  8 8-inch flour tortillas

  Preheat oven 325 degrees.

  In a medium bowl cream together cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in 1/2 cup salsa. Stir in 1/2 cup of each type of cheese.
  

  In a second bowl toss together the chicken, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and half of the scallions. Add the chicken mixture to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.

  Spread about 1/2 cup salsa in the bottom of a baking dish. Place 1/3 to 1/2 cup filling on a tortilla, roll up and put in dish seam side down. Repeat process for remaining tortillas.

  Pour remaining salsa over enchiladas, spreading to coat all of them. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  Transfer to preheated oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and serve warm.

   I love your site and your recipes are golden. I know that they will usually have ingredients that I either have or can find easily and the meals (or muffins) will be tasty and usally quick. I also like another blog called noble pig.

   I live for enchilades. Now I want to make some!

   And you are not alone with being worried people won't like the recipes. I secretly worry about it too.

   Enchiladas can be hard to take picture of, but you nailed it! I make a recipe similar to this but with beef instead of chicken. I love the creaminess from the cream cheese. Look great!

   I'm so glad you liked these! (I always get nervous, too, when someone tries something I've posted. What if they don't liiiike it?!)

   I think we'd get along really well in real life too. Thanks for all the kind words, Deborah!

   I get the same way when someone makes one of my recipes! It's totally irrational, but still.

   Oo do these sound good! I've got a serious Mexican craving going on now…

   I feel that your site and your recipes are pitch perfect…but I understand how you feel, I get nervous too. These enchiladas look creamy and cheesy…just the way I like them!

    These look so delicious! I think everyone who shares a recipe, whether it's on a blog or not, has apprehension that it won't be pleasing to another. Keep posting them though- your recipes are great!

    I get nervous, too! Isn't it funny that most of us do? And I gt totally excited when someone says they read my blog! I don't get many comments, so it's rewarding to know that someone is reading
    I love your blog, Deborah! Of course I read Pioneer Woman (who doesn't?) and Steamy Kitchen is a favorite!

    i tend to get a bit nervous too! but i figure not everyone is going to think the same as me, what one person find delicious, another person could easily find disgusting.

    this looks DELICIOUS! with ingredients like that how could you go wrong?

    Love this recipe! Looks like a great meal for when school starts back up again in September.

    I find that Recipegirl and Sweetnicks have many recipes that I can count on to be awesome whenever I make them.

    I get that same nervous feeling when someone says they are making something of mine. It doesn't matter that I loved it…they might hate it!

    These look amazing!

    I still get that fear as well. I've made a lot of recipes from Stacey Snacks & Kalofagas

    I totally know what you mean about being nervous when people say they're going to make something from your blog. I get especially nervous if they're going to make like a healthy muffin and might be expecting a cake muffin so they won't like it. Anyway, I don't know if I've ever had cream cheese in enchiladas but it sounds like it would be amazing!
