4-Ingredient Salsa Verde Enchilada Bake
Description
The 4-Ingredient Salsa Verde Enchilada Bake assembles cooked shredded chicken, pepper jack cheese, and salsa verde into a filling that is wrapped in flour tortillas and arranged seam-side down in a baking dish. The dish begins with a thin salsa verde layer on the pan bottom to prevent sticking and add flavor.
The pepper jack cheese provides slight heat and creaminess, melding with the tangy salsa verde and tender chicken during baking at 350°F. The tortillas soak up moisture, creating soft, flavorful enchiladas layered with melted cheese on top. Baking uncovered allows the cheese to bubble and brown slightly while the chicken filling remains juicy.
Optional garnishes such as onion, cilantro, avocado, or tomatoes add fresh elements and color if desired. This bake offers a practical way to serve enchiladas with minimal hands-on time using rotisserie chicken and jarred salsa verde, suitable for casual dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 2 cups pepper jack cheese shredded, or cheddar jack cheese
- 16 oz salsa verde jar
- 8 flour tortilla 8-inch
- onion cilantro, avocado, or tomatoes, optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Spread a thin layer of salsa verde evenly over bottom of dish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, and 1 cup salsa verde. Stir to combine well. Divide mixture evenly between the 8 tortillas. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down onto baking dish (overlap slightly if needed.) Evenly top with remaining cheese and salsa verde.
- Bake uncovered 20-30 min or until cheese bubbly. Serve with your choice of optional garnishes, if desired.
