Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
These easy chicken enchiladas are the best kind of family dinner. They bring everyone together, and while they may look fancy, they are as easy as pie—well, easier than pie! So, here’s how to impress your dinner crowd with minimal effort. Prepare to be hailed as the kitchen hero!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (leftover chicken works great!)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack—whatever makes your heart sing)
- 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce (pick your favorite flavor, mild or spicy!)
- 8 flour tortillas (the bigger, the better for rolling and stuffing)
- 1 cup black beans (optional, but why not add some fiber?)
- 1 cup corn (yes, we’re throwing the party of flavors)
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (because we’re fancy like that)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (about the temperature of a relaxed summer day!).
- In a bowl, mix together the chicken, ½ cup of cheese, ½ can of enchilada sauce, black beans, and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Feel free to add a little extra zest if you’re feeling adventurous!
- Grab your tortillas. You don’t want them breaking on you, so be gentle! Spoon some of that glorious chicken mixture into each tortilla and roll them up like they’re the last burrito on Earth.
- Place the rolled tortillas in a baking dish seam-side down. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top. You can’t have too much sauce, right?!
- Sprinkle the rest of the cheese all over the top like you’re putting on a cheesy crown.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, just the way we like it.
- Once everything is melted and the aroma is wafting through the house, take them out (careful, it’s hot!), sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top for that pro touch, and serve!
There you have it! Your easy chicken enchiladas are ready to be devoured. Now, sit back and watch as your family fights over the last bite. Don’t worry, you’ll always be invited back to whip up more magic! Enjoy every cheesy, spicy, and wholesome bite!
