#ChickenEnchiladas #LeftoverChickenRecipes #MexicanFood #EasyWeeknightDinners #KbougeCreations
* 2-3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken (leftover from any cooked chicken - more than welcome to cook some chicken breast)
* 1 tbsp of oil
* 1/2 onion, chopped
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 carrot, smashed
* 1 red bell pepper, diced
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1 tsp chili powder
* 1 tsp oregano
* 1/4 tsp cinnamon
* 4 oz canned mild green chilies (optional, adjust for spice level)
* 28 oz of red enchilada sauce (plus 10 oz extra)
* large burrito-size flour tortillas (I made 16 could have made more)
* 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese or measure with your heart❤️
* Optional- avocado, sour cream, and cilantro
✨Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, smashed carrot, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Season and Cook: Add salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, oregano, cinnamon and the optional green chilies to the mixture. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to become fragrant.
3. Add Chicken: Stir in the shredded chicken and 28 oz of red enchilada sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors. Set aside.
4. Prepare Tortillas: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly warm the tortillas to make them easier to roll.
5. Assemble Enchiladas: Add about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture to each tortilla with cheese. Roll them tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
6. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the extra 10 oz of enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, or avocado slices if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
