Ingredients
16 ounces enchilada sauce (red, green chile, or salsa verde)
3 cups queso cheese (Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack recommended)
1 rotisserie chicken (shredded or diced)
8 corn tortillas
minced white or yellow onions
chopped olives
green chiles
taco seasoning
queso fresco
sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
1-First, preheat the oven to 350Β°F, or go with 375Β°F if you want a bit more crisp. This step sets the stage for even baking and helps meld those flavors. Next, debone and shred your rotisserie chicken, discarding the skin to keep things lean and tasty.
2-Then, pour ΒΎ cup of enchilada sauce into a greased 9Γ13-inch oven-safe dish to coat the bottom nicely. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with queso cheese for that creamy filling. Fill each of the 8 corn tortillas with about ΒΌ cup of the chicken mixture and a little enchilada sauce, roll them tightly, and place them seam-side down in the dish.
3-Once assembled, cover the enchiladas with the remaining sauce and top with extra queso cheese. If you like, add garnishes like chopped olives for a nice touch. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 30 minutes until itβs bubbly and golden. For reheating leftovers, thaw them overnight in the fridge and warm at 350Β°F.
