Description

Comforting enchiladas filled with shredded chicken and topped with cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, 1 cup of cheese, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Take a tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture, and roll it up. Place each seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Repeat this with the remaining tortillas.
  6. Pour the leftover enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  7. If using, add the chopped onions on top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or avocado. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
