Chicken Enchiladas with Red Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1 package tortillas (taco-sized, burrito-sized, or cut burrito-sized in half)

  • 1 lb shredded chicken breast

  • 1-2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (to taste)

  • 1 can red enchilada sauce

  • 1/2 cup green enchilada sauce

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
    In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken breast with 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese, 1/4 cup red enchilada sauce, and 1/4 cup green enchilada sauce. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce and cheese mixture.

  2. Assemble the Enchiladas:
    Spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla, then roll them up into a mini burrito shape. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a baking pan.

  3. Add Sauce and Cheese:
    Pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring they are evenly coated. Top with more shredded Mexican cheese.

  4. Bake:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. Serve:
    Enjoy your enchiladas hot, garnished with sour cream, guacamole, or fresh cilantro if desired.
