Delicious homemade chicken enchiladas with tender tortillas, savory filling, and rich red enchilada sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups cheese, shredded (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
  • 8–10 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups homemade red enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, half of the cheese, black beans (if using), cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
  3. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  4. Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
  5. Take each tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Once all the tortillas are filled and in place, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Consider adding a spoonful of sour cream to the filling for a creamier texture. Test spices for optimal flavor before assembling.
