Here’s a quick and tasty recipe for Chicken Enchiladas:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 8-10 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies (optional)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream, cilantro, and lime for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken, green chilies, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas to make them pliable (microwave with a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds).
- Spread about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a greased baking dish.
- Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll them up and place them seam-side down in the dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas and top with the rest of the cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime before serving.
