Description

Delicious and easy homemade chicken enchiladas with shredded rotisserie chicken, melted Colby Jack cheese, and a rich homemade enchilada sauce, all wrapped in soft flour tortillas and baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (237 ml) homemade enchilada sauce
  • 10 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups (473 g) shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 ½ cups (198 g) freshly grated Colby Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with some enchilada sauce.
  4. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll up tightly.
  5. Place rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful filling.
  • Warm tortillas slightly before filling to prevent cracking.
  • Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or fresh cilantro for added flavor.
  • Homemade enchilada sauce enhances flavor but store-bought can be substituted.
