  6. Top the enchiladas with the remaining cheese and the sauce.
  7. After baking for 22 to 25 minutes, turn on the broiler to brown the cheese.
  8. These are a family favorite when served with hot sauce by the adults! On the side, refried beans and spanish rice are also delicious.

Notes

  • I’ve discovered that your flour tortillas will fit exactly, with a couple facing the other way, into a 9×13 baking dish if they are folded like a burrito.
  • For this dish, any kind of shredded chicken will work. If a rotisserie is not available, you can also bake or boil 1.5 pounds of chicken breasts. Use canned chicken for even less effort!
  • You are free to use any shredded cheese you desire, including cheddar, mozzarella, monterey jack, or a mix of cheeses from Mexico.
  • Before drizzling the sauce over the enchiladas, experiment with adding some cayenne pepper or hot sauce if you like things spicy.
