Description

Warm and easy chicken enchiladas filled with shredded chicken, salsa verde, and melted cheese – perfect for a quick weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 8 soft tortillas
  • 2 cups salsa verde
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir until heated through, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour the salsa verde over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Warm the tortillas before filling to prevent cracking. Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.
