My Chicken Enchilada Soup Boats are great for the whole family! It’s always a pleasure partnering with Old El Paso to bring you quick and simple family friendly dinner ideas! I’ve put together a weeknight dinner that couldn’t be more simple to prepare plus it’s packed with great Mexican flavors. I know how busy the school week can be with all of the kids different activities and homework. It’s so nice to have quick to prepare dinner recipes for a stress free experience.
How To Prepare Chicken Enchilada Soup Boats
I used Old El Paso’s Whole Wheat Taco Boats as a “bowl” for my simple soup. The kids loved this! I placed the taco boats onto a baking sheet and bake until slightly browned and crispy.
Only takes about 10 minutes and they come out nice and crisp to hold your soup.
To make the soup, pour the enchilada sauce into a small saucepan.
Add 1 cup of heavy cream.
1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
Some sweet corn kernels, a little garlic salt and cumin.
Stir in the cooked chicken and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
Carefully spoon your soup into the taco boats and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and cubed avocado if you’d like. Enjoy!
