A delicious and straightforward recipe for chicken enchiladas combining tender chicken, flavorful seasonings, and gooey cheese, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion turns translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  5. Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
  6. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over them and sprinkle with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

For added spice, consider incorporating diced jalapeños or chili peppers into the chicken mixture. Use warm tortillas to make rolling easier and prevent cracks.
