Excellent Chicken Enchiladas
Chicken Enchiladas are a delicious Mexican dish made with tender shredded chicken, savory enchilada sauce, and melted cheese, all rolled up in corn tortillas. They are then baked until bubbly and golden brown.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic medium, minced
- 2 1/2 cups red enchilada sauce or green enchilada sauce
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1/2 cup frozen corn defrosted
- 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup Oaxaca cheese shredded
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a casserole dish with olive oil.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and allow to become fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the enchilada sauce and cook just until the enchilada sauce is warmed through, another 3-4 minutes.
- In the meantime, combine shredded chicken, sour cream, corn, and half of the cheeses in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Dip each tortilla into the warm enchilada sauce until coated on all sides. Fill each tortilla with about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and roll tightly like a cigar. Transfer the tortilla, seam side down, into the prepared casserole dish.
- Repeat with all tortillas and pour any remaining enchilada sauce over all of the tortillas.
- Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and transfer into the oven to bake until the cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown around the edges, approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Serve sprinkled with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
