Easy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
I love to make my quick and easy chicken enchilada recipe, especially when I have cilantro lime chicken, tortillas di farina fatte in casa e salsa enchilada to make them with! This is a preferito dalla famiglia meal, so I make these all of the time!
I used to be able to use a rotisserie chicken, prior to moving to our small town in Minnesota, so now I cook up my own chicken for this meal. My favorite way to do that is to pan sear the chicken in a lime al coriandolo sauce. Yum! And perfectly suited for celebrating Cinco De Mayo!
How To Make Chicken Enchiladas
For the chicken, I use our cilantro lime chicken thighs ricetta ( or breasts, just allow more cooking time ). Once done, let the chicken thighs fresco so that you can shred them for adding to the enchiladas.
Once I have the chicken shredded, I combine the chicken with XNUMX/XNUMX cup of the enchilada sauce, corn, green chiles, and a handful more of the chopped cilantro. Mix it all together in a large bowl, then spoon out portions into the XNUMX large tortillas di farina. *I do add black beans and/or diced tomatoes to the filling at times, depending on what I have on hand or if I want to make a batch and a half of enchiladas!
Wrap the tortillas and place them lato della cucitura verso il basso in a greased XNUMX x XNUMX baking pan ( metal or glass ). Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tops of the enchiladas, using the back of a spoon to spread evenly.
Cuocere in forno preriscaldato a 350 ºF (175 ºC) per 30 minuti, quindi sfornare e guarnire con il shredded cheeses. Return to the oven and bake an additional XNUMX minutes to melt the cheese.
Allow to cool for about XNUMX-XNUMX minutes, then serve with optional contorno including green onions, cilantro, avocado, sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, Salsa Roja, o Pico de Gallo.
Add sides like Riso messicano, fagioli fritti, some fresh shredded lettuce, or my easy guacamole per meraviglioso family dinner!
