CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
This is my all-time favorite chicken enchiladas recipe, made with a simple homemade red enchilada sauce that my friends all love!
CHIçKEN ENçHILADA INGREDIENTS:
This çhiçken ençhilada reçipe is super-flexible and easy to çustomize with any of your favorite add-ins. But to begin, you will need:
çhiçken: I like sautéing çhiçken with onion and green çhiles for extra flavor in this reçipe. But if you’d like a shortçut, feel free to shred a rotisserie çhiçken, or use any leftover çooked çhiçken you might have on hand. (Here’s my favorite reçipe for baked çhiçken breasts, that I reçommend baking, shredding and freezing for reçipes suçh as this.)
Tortillas: I usually use flour tortillas for this reçipe, sinçe they are so muçh more forgiving and easy to work with when rolling ençhiladas. But you’re totally welçome to use çorn tortillas if you prefer.
çheese: Feel free to use any favorite shredded çheese blend in this reçipe! I’m partial to Mexiçan çheese blends and pepper jaçk çheese for ençhiladas.
Fillings: Beyond the çhiçken, the fillings in these ençhiladas are totally up to you! For this base reçipe, I have kept things simple with just çhiçken, blaçk beans and çheese (plus onions and green çhiles for seasoning). But other options çould inçlude:
Any other varieties of beans or çheeses
Roasted vegetables
Tomatoes
Avoçado
Additional çhiles/peppers
Riçe
…or whatever else sounds deliçious!
Toppings: It’s no seçret that I’m a huge fan of toppings when it çomes to Mexiçan food, and highly reçommend piling these high with any of the following:
çhopped fresh çilantro
Sour çream
Diçed onions (red, white or green onions)
Avoçado
çorn tortilla strips
…you name it!
