Ingredients:
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 small diced onion
- 1 diced fresh jalapeño pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start with, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and jalapeño pepper and sauté for a few minutes until they are softened. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper.
Next, pour half of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Take a tortilla and fill it with a spoonful of the chicken mixture. Roll the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the sauce. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving Suggestions:
These easy chicken enchiladas can be served with a variety of toppings, such as diced tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, or fresh cilantro. They also pair well with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans.
