These easy, cheesy chicken enchiladas come together in a snap and are faster and way more delicious than fast food. If you have leftover roast chicken, use that here. Alternatively, you can buy a rotisserie chicken if you don't feel like cooking your own. Also, don't use corn tortillas, as these have a tendency to break and be hard to roll. Whatever you do, though, don't forget the fresh tomato, avocado, cilantro, and green onion topping—the freshness livens up the dish.
Make this for a busy weeknight or even for celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Regardless of the occasion, these enchiladas are sure to please. Toppings, meat, and even sauce can vary for different desired taste and spice level.
This is the best chicken enchilada recipe I've ever tried. I did make a few changes, only one cup of cheese in the filling for one. Baked it 25 minutes then put the sour cream/salsa sauce on and the other cup of cheese and baked an additional 15 minutes. Topped with all the goodies. It was soooooooo tasty. Be sure to use the pepper jack cheese in the filling if you like a kick.
AMAZING! These were not the typical greesy, cheesy, restaurant enchiladas. They had more of a fresh spin with all of the chopped veggies on top. My husband and I finished these in 2 days, and I must say he is not a fan of leftovers. I did use enchilada sauce as I could not find green taco sauce, but they were awesome. Definitely making these again. Thanks for the great recipe!
Excellant. I added 2 jalapenos to spice it up.
These turned out great! Everyone I've made them for has loved them. I use light sour cream and either wheat or corn tortillas to make it a little healthier. Instead of green taco sauce I used Cholula Chili Lime Hot Sauce - gives it a kick and the flavor is better!
I have made these many times for the family and everyone loves them. To save time I use a rotissrie chicken .
Super easy to make. I made guacamole and served organic blue chips on the size. yummy dinner.
I absolutely love this recipe! The only thing I did different was use red taco sauce instead of green! It was quick easy! I will definitely make it again!
Yummy, great way to use left over chicken. The sauce made of sour cream mixed with green taco sauce rocks. Family tested and approved, easy to make and presents nicely enough to serve guests.
