Vegan Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip
If you like enchiladas but can’t be bothered with the effort it takes to make them; you NEED to give this dip a try! This recipe is very simple to make, and it takes me less than fifteen minutes to prepare! With basic kitchen staples, you can have my crowd-pleasing vegan green chile chicken enchilada dip in no time!
I’m not a big football fan, nor am I a partier, BUT if I were, I would most definitely be making this for all get-togethers I’d be attending. Finger foods are my jam. Sometimes all I want for dinner is a plethora of appetizers! (I actually made an all appetizers dinner with my BFF the other day, and it was the best thing I’ve done in a while, haha.)

Anyways, I think most of us can agree that enchiladas are delicious, but that they’re also slightly tedious and time-consuming. Double also, they don’t make for the best finger food, which I feel is what most people want when at a party. That’s where this vegan green chile chicken enchilada dip comes in handy! This dip is ultra-creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy. Might I also add that it is addicting? Because it most definitely is, you will have a VERY hard time stopping yourself from snacking on it.
I make the base of this enchilada dip with vegan cream cheese, vegan sour cream, shredded vegan colby jack, and green enchilada sauce. Then I combine it with vegan chicken, green chiles, TABASCO green jalapeno sauce, jalapeno, scallions, and taco seasoning. This dish takes me less than fifteen minutes to prepare, and then the rest of the magic happens in the oven! I then serve the enchilada dip with Fritos, but tortilla chips work great as well. Oh, and it also tastes good cold, although I prefer eating it straight from the oven.
Please do you and your loved ones a favor and give this dip a try. It’s one of my new favorite recipes, and I hope it becomes one of yours too!

Vegan Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Dip
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked vegan chicken, small chopped (I used Gardein's meatless chick'n strips!)

- One 4 ounce can diced green chiles
- 2 tbsp TABASCO green pepper sauce
- 1/2 jalapeno, minced
- 2 tbsp green onions, small chopped
- Half of a 1-ounce taco seasoning packet (Roughly 2 1/2 tbsp)

- Neutral flavored cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Cook your vegan chicken according to its package instructions and lightly season it with a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking. Then, chop it into small pieces.
