My friend Charlotte (thanks C!!) gave this to me...it is SO easy and just delicious! She likes corn tortillas, I like flour, and it tastes great with both...whatever your preference!

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 -4 chicken breasts
15 white corn tortillas (fajita size) or 15 flour tortillas (fajita size)
3 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce (I use Old El Paso)
3 -4 cups grated monterey jack pepper cheese (or for less spice, use 1 cup pepper jack and 2 cups of cheddar, or a fiesta blend mexican cheese mix)

Steps:

  • Boil chicken until it falls apart, then shred.
  • Mix 1/2 can of sauce and a little cheese with chicken.
  • Put other 1/2 can on bottom of 11x9 baking dish.
  • Microwave tortillas until soft.
  • Roll chicken mixture into tortillas.
  • Put in pan semi-tightly.
  • Cover with remaining 2 cans sauce.
  • Cover top with remaining cheese and bake at 350 until cheese is fully melted (usually about 20-25 min).
  • Brown top slightly or to preference.

EASY SALSA VERDE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS - INSPIRED TASTE



Easy Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas - Inspired Taste image

These green chicken enchiladas with salsa verde, chicken, sour cream, cheese and cilantro are simple to make. Salsa verde is a green tomatillo salsa made with garlic, onion and peppers. You can make it yourself (see our homemade salsa verde recipe) or buy it from the store. There are some great options. Look for a salsa with medium heat.

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon neutral flavored oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups (16 ounces) salsa verde, store-bought or try our roasted salsa verde recipe
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped, plus more for serving
2 cups shredded cooked chicken, see how we make shredded chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend
6 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas, see notes

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat then cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the salsa verde and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from the heat then stir in the sour cream and cilantro. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt, pepper or more sour cream if the sauce it too spicy. Set aside about 1 cup of the sauce for assembling the enchiladas.
  • Stir the shredded chicken and half of the cheese into the sauce that has not been set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish and spread a little reserved sauce on the bottom. Add about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling to the middle of each tortilla and roll into a cylinder. Repeat, lining up tortillas, seam-side down, tightly in the dish. Spread the reserved sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 10 minutes longer, until the cheese is melted. Serve with cilantro on top.
